If it's handled through the "normal" HIDP stack on Android, it should
at least create a hidraw device in stock Linux (which you can check for
in the dmesg output).

You can then use hid-recorder to get the information from the device:
http://bentiss.github.io/hid-replay-docs/

And start a discussion on the linux-input list about adding support for
it. Given the price of the device, you could always offer to buy one of
the linux-input developers one of them, I found that it's usually a
pretty good incentive :)

Cheers
