jQuery combobox that allows custom entries to be typed

I need to get this functionality: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/

with this interface: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox

As you can see, it's an autocomplete that allows me to click to drop down what auto-complete values are available, but also allows custom input.

I also need cross-browser and mobile compatibility.

Lastly, I really want to avoid a bloated package that includes hundreds of unneccessary capabilities.

This seems like it would be a common enough issue to have an available solution, but the only answers I can find are to modify jQueryUI (with instructions that seem out of date) or to use this package, with its huge set of includes: http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxcombobox/index.htm

Is there a single-use plugin to accomplish this sort of input?

In minimal form, I don't even need autocomplete, just a select box that allows me to type custom entries.
