Mouse + Mouse as Joystick recognition

I´m trying to receive data from a mouse without it depending on cursor position, as I´d like the normal computer´s mouse to work separately (the other mouse will be used as a sensor for a different purpose).
I need two computer mice, one operating as the computer´s mouse, and the other as a separate sensor.
In order to do this, I have tried to "turn" one of the mice into a joystick via PPJOY, and then reading it over proControll. However, it seems PPJOY is uncapable of telling which mouse is which, so I´m back to where I started.
What should I try next?
1. Does anyone know of a proggie capable of turning only ONE of the connected mice into joystick?
2. What other kind of proggie might help me fool the computer into not reconizing the second mouse as a mouse but as something different?
3. What other method might help me receive separate data from the mice?
