Spaceball 5000

HI,
i have got SpaceBall 5000, and i want to use it with java 3d Programs. have any body used it and tell me which API can be used to get input from SpaceBall 5000.

Regards

Assuming this is Windows and there is A DirectInput driver
OR this is Linux and it uis a USB device
OR this is a Mac and HID Manager understands it

Then the answer is JInput.

In case of Windows and a DirectInput HID driver, JXInput will also give you explicit access and also supports Java3Ds Sensor API.
