After following the guide, it still wasnt working right. i couldnt go to game controlers > properties and check the axis's to make sure it was setup right. the error is in the registry key. i double clicked it to install, but it didnt set the value right. so i opened up regedit and did the following as per the guide

add a registry entry named 3DXPPJOY.EXE with data “3dxppjoy.scg” to “My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3Dconnexion\3D xWare\Applications\” (after navigating to that directory, use Edit -> New -> String -> name it “3DXPPJOY.EXE” -> Right Click -> Modify -> Value Data: “3dxppjoy.scg”

and now the properties display the axis movemnts as long as 3dxppjoy.exe is running

Edit: been playing with glovepie most of the day, and im pretty certain that it doesnt see anything other than x,y,z and the button presses.. Glovepie does have a script for working with the spaceball, and it uses pitch, yaw, and roll, which is what we need to make full use of this device.. At the very least i want to be able to take control of the 'twisting' action, which i beleive is roll on a joystick. I'm going to keep playing but i think at this point glovepie only sees x y and z, and the buttons..

edit edit: ok so it does read those in

Now for the fun part of parsing the math to get useable values...
