The Kensington Orbit Trackball is a USB device with two physical buttons, a scroll ring, and the ball. By default EmulateMiddleButton is disabled, but should be enabled as there is no third button.
The only reason I'm reporting this is that I really really like this device - I've been searching for a good trackball most of my career, and this is the best I have found.
