With the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator now in mass production, we checked with OCZ Technology to see whether they intend to support this first product of its kind on Linux. Lisa Gregersen, an OCZ marketing representative, has informed us that porting their NIA driver and software to Linux isn't on their immediate road-map right now, but it may come in the future. As this product is heavily weighted for gamers, OCZ may consider adding the Linux support once the Linux gaming market has grown. However, that's not to say the Linux community won't come up with their own NIA driver or cleanly reverse-engineer the Windows OCZ software. When we hear any other information regarding the OCZ NIA and Linux, we'll be sure to pass it along. By the time there is hopefully the official Linux support, the Neural Impulse Actuator may drop in price too (right now its price-tag is ~$300 USD).
