use of commercial usb remote?

[Yahaboobay]

Hya, I have an ultra-noob question.  Sorry if it is laughable to most here.

Is there a commercially available USB camera remote that meets the specifications required by CHDK?  I don't know if my skills are up to scratching together one myself, but I would really really like to use a remote for my A590IS.  I hope to play with some stop-motion animation and it would be better if I didn't have to touch the camera to take pictures.

Thanks very much in advance for your time and expertise.
