The Leica Q2 thumb support works well, makes the camera a bit more secure in hand.
Perfect addition to the Q2

I debated whether or not to add the front hand grip instead-of or in-addition-to and finally opted to go with just the Thumb Support, and I think it was the right decision for me. I think adding the front grip would be overkill and I prefer the Q2 to be a minimal camera. The Thumb Support adds just enough additional support to confidently use the camera one-handed, if needed, and to better control the camera for slower exposures. It's obviously not-cheap, but that probably should not be a part of the equation when considering Leica cameras and gear. It's brilliantly made - I love how the design has the support going firmly to the EVF - and the support really becomes a solid part of the camera. Very pleased with this purchase - it's a perfect pairing with the Q2!
Worth the price and more.

Oy, I really didn't want to buy this because of the price, but after pulling the trigger and doing so anyways, I can't get over how beautiful it fits, feels and looks on my Q2. I would pay more if I knew what I know now about how well it accompanies the camera. Sure you can buy a third party thumb grip, but this one just fits absolutely perfect, matches exact, has the beautiful white lettering and not to mention the AF pass-through button makes it even easier to depress than without the support attached. If you have Leica money, you have a little more for this gem. Enjoy!
Costs a pretty penny but absolutely worth it.

I added the thumb support after a few weeks with my Q2 Monochrom, and it's made a huge difference: the camera is now far more secure in my hand, whether I'm shooting or simply carrying it around. The support is beautifully designed, weighs next to nothing, and fits perfectly. Yes, it's expensive, but as others have noted, it's not that costly given the price of the camera.
Great accessory

The Leica thumb grip is very well designed and built. It fits perfectly and looks like it belongs there. I looked at offerings from 3rd party brands but they just don't cut it, they just don't do the very beautiful Q2 any justice. The Leica Thumb support is very expensive but so is the Q2 so what is another few hundred dollars. One star off because of the price.

Can this Q2 Thumb Support be used while also using the Q2 Holster (specifically, will the Q2 still slide into and fit properly in its dedicated holster, with the Q2 Thumb Support installed)?
We are not 100% sure but we think it may since it doesn't extend out that far from the back of the camera.

Why won't this thumb grip work with the original Q? Aren't the ergonomics identical to the Q2?
No, there are small design differences that will cause the Leica Q2 Thumb Support (B&H# LEQ2TSB) to block access to some controls on the original Leica Q.

Does the thumb support cover up one of the buttons on back of camera?
It does cover the eyepiece correction button. If you need to make adjustments to the eyepiece correction, say if another user was using the camera, you would simply slide the thumb support off, make your corrections and slide it back on. Access to the crop mode button is integrated into the thumb support.
