The quadrature encoder with acceleration would seem easiest, but it still needs coding. My bright (I claim…) idea is to use two potentiometers connected to two analogue arduino inputs (method below), ...

For the experiment, I opened an old usb optical mouse made by Belkin. The major component in the mouse is the ADNS-2610 Optical Mouse Sensor. There is also a controller/interface chip (HT82M99E), ...
