No. A mouse.  Do Logitech also make sticks?

This looks as though it works:
# mount -t usbfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/dict
# ls /mnt/dict
001  002  devices
 # ls -l /mnt/dict/001
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 43 2006-02-28 21:41 001
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 52 2006-02-28 21:41 002
# ls -l /mnt/dict/002
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 43 2006-02-28 21:41 001
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 57 2006-02-28 18:48 004
 # ls -l /mnt/dict/devices
-r--r--r--  1 root root 0 2006-02-28 18:48 /mnt/dict/devices

But note the "total 0"s and that "devices" is of zero length.
