If you really want to push the limits, you can buy a Razer Naga mouse (new or used):

I will be very curious if USB Overdrive or the mouse gives up first on possible configuration  -afro-
Ti 1 GHz / 1 GB / FW SSD / Airport Extreme PCMCIA (triple boot)
Alu 12 1.5GHz / 1.5 GB / 256 GB mSata SSD (dual boot for now)

If you are into trackballs the modern wired usb kensington expert mouse works flawlessly under usb overdrive. All 4 of the buttons and the scroll wheel work. The wireless usb version might work as well but i have never tried mine on an old mac. Its expensive but its an extremely high quality and smooth trackball.
