That begs the question of the currently available drivers.

Will the currently available drivers be compatable with the G2002 ?
or will a driver with encoder feedback of some sort be released as a
companion ?

And yes, currently available drives will work, then that also begs
the question of drivers... will they be proprietary or will the cheap
POC some people use work with the G2002 ?
