I have two additional requests.

 * Please run "lsusb -vvv" as root.  This is only way to get the full
HID report.  I believe this does not always work if a kernel input
driver has latched onto the device.
 * Run "dmesg | grep ASUSTek" and look for line telling if kernel
driver has been installed for this device.

I googled for this USB ID and got one result where it said its being
detected as a generic HID Mouse.  This would not be a good thing and
all your work in xf86-input-wacom or xf86-input-evdev will be in vain
until kernel side issue is resolved.
