No one is not sufficient.

With 2 optical mouse I can distinguish between skidding to the side and rotating.

If the front and the back mouse showing the same direction on the X axis it is skidding if they show an opposites direction it is rotating.

This system can work on omni directional platform as well.

If you'll add a third mouse you will be able to fined error's between the mousse.

Why use 2 optical mouse? Isnt one sufficient?

How do you handle rotating?
