Set up two wheels and try to drag them diagonally, see what happens.

And that way? \↑/

But ok, i guess it is either too scratchy on fabric or too less grip on smooth surfaces.

Imagine trying to move that mouse in a circular motion

Yeah, that's the way I mean. If the wheels in your figure there were at 90° angles, it wouldn't work at all. The very best case scenario would be that it would input up then right over and over the whole time you're dragging.
