uhid device mice not working

Hi,

I have an issue getting a trackball and spinner configured as mice working in Arch.
I searched a lot but I cannot sort it out myself. The device itself works under windows. I configured it like 10 years ago.
It can function as a keyboard, joystick or mouse all combined. Keyboard works, joystick works, mouse doesn't.
It is a https://www.ultimarc.com/control-interf … -en/u-hid/

The OS is barebone. I use KMSDRM. It is fully up to date as of writing.

The, as far as I know, relevant dmesg output:

by-id    event1   event12  event15  event18  event4  event7  js0     mouse1
by-path  event10  event13  event16  event2   event5  event8  mice
event0   event11  event14  event17  event3   event6  event9  mouse0

When I boot the system I always have a mouse0. mouse0 doesn't do a thing. Perhaps that is the U-hid device I don't know.
When I attach the Dell mouse I get a mouse1 and if I do cat ./mouse1 and move it I get characters so that one works. It also works in programs.

I also have the following in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-ultimarc.rules

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="d209", MODE="0666"

Can anyone shed a light on this please as I have no clue how to solve it.
Tell me what info is required and I'll provide it.

Best regards.
