One of the following is probably what you're looking for.  Scrollwheel
steps through desktops.  Pressing scrollwheel & moving mouse
rotates cube.  

Desktop scrolling with mousewheel
Enable Rotate Cube
Bindings tab:
Rotate Left - <Control>Button 4
Rotate Right - <Control>Button 5

Enable Viewport Switcher
Desktop-based Viewport Switching tab:
Move Next - Button4
Move Prev - Button5
