In that particular case, I'd rather it got renamed to "hid-udraw-ps3"
in this case. The XBox 360 and Wii versions use completely different
protocols:

The XBox 360 version is more likely to be integrated in with other XBox
pads, and the Wii version along with other Wii Bluetooth remotes.

THQ went under in 2012, as a result of making too many of those drawing
tablets:

I'm fine with it either way. Just let me know which one you prefer.
