Yeah, I'm sorry, but I was just concerned whether my unit would have any problems because it's not as powerful as the one you recommend?

It should work with GIMX as it features the at90usb162 chip (
listed as compatible), but you'll have to use the firmware loader from ATMEL:
FLIP.

Yes, I know, I did actually read everything you posted, twice.

But there's a difference between working and working optimal, e.g. will I have latency problems because the unit is clocked lower or similar?

You shouldn't feel any latency difference. The clock speed is the same.
The main differences between the at90usb162 and the atmega32u4 are:
- the pin numbers: doesn't matter for a use with GIMX
- the memory: less flash to store the program, less RAM to run the application
The second point may be a problem with future GIMX firmwares.

That's what I wanted to hear!

I've been waiting since the end of January for my Teensy, so I really hope it works.

I'll probably buy a legit one if you choose to expand this awesome technology! ^^

Before I decide to go with the original Teensy, I'd like to know if these are supported:
http://www.electrozone.dk/10998
http://www.electrozone.dk/microcontrollers/10277
I know the processors are supported, but will it work with FLIP and the project in general? The shipping is way faster here, as it is local.
EDIT: The first one listed doesn't seen a button like the others? :O

I recommend the atmega32u4.
If it doesn't have a button, it means you have to use some extra buttons (or wires) to make it enter the DFU mode.

Well, the first one clearly doesn't have a button (it seems to me), so how would I know what to solder? It doesn't seem that obvious to me, unless a manual is included.
