FWIW this works for me,

KERNEL=="mouse[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{name}=="*Synaptics TouchPad*", SYMLINK+="input/touchpad"
KERNEL=="mouse[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{name}=="*IBM TrackPoint*", SYMLINK+="input/trackpoint"
KERNEL=="mouse[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", SYSFS{name}=="*Kensington Expert Mouse*", SYMLINK+="input/trackball"

Maybe I'm meant to be using the event stuff like you, though. (-:
