The lack of an obvious direct link is for a reason..., if Taito come looking there is nothing to find. 
@Mad Arcade had a tracker ball yes. My memory is bad these days but for Ted machines I believe it's a no go via the joyports as the C64 uses some analog line that the paddles use and that's something we don't have.
In my opinion there are not enough pixels on screen for 8bit machines to make overall worthy use of the mouse in games like Arkanoid as Arthur Noid proved, and ZX Spectrum is maybe the best 8bit computer for Breakout games when it comes to speed & smoothness yet that never needed a mouse. C64 Arkanoid isn't as good as it should of been when it comes to the way it plays via joystick and could of been miles better when you start looking at other similar games. That's my take any way.
