The navX-Micro is the smaller version of the navX-MXP. The navX-Micro has USB and I2C interfaces, so because of the USB issues which have been discovered w/the 2016 RoboRIO firmware, you could use the I2C interface.

Unlike the navX-MXP, the navX-Micro doesn't have the MXP Expansion IO feature, and it doesn't mount directly on top of the RoboRIO - but a 3d-printable enclosure is available. The navX-Micro also doesn't have the SPI and TTL UART interfaces provided by the navX-MXP - but the I2C interface should work fine for your needs.

If that sounds like an option for you, they can be purchased at the KauaiLabs online store.
P.S. A shipment of navX-MXPs is on its way to AndyMark, they should be available for sale there on about 4/26/2016.
