I have a pink one from Superdrug 1Gig for about £13. Connects via USB
no problem. It has rechargeable lithium battery.
Model AS-M41. The re-chargeable battery is a problem on a long flight.

I also have a Woolworths one that takes AAA batteries & uses SD cards 
you can write to with a card reader Dazzle* HS USB 2.

I also have an Olympus SP-560 UZ that connects directly via USB.

I have a Microsoft Trackball optical. This works "out of the box" 
without software. They are now rare but there is one on Ebay forsale 
in Canada.
