As if ploopy.co didn't exist ๐
Still happy to see new open source firmware for mice being developed and implemented in new products. More options is always better.

I think Ploopy's firmware is straight microcontroller firmware for the RP2040. This Keychron firmware appears to be an OS with wide hw support.
I will hope and dream that this might someday lead to more mmo/12-button mice on the market, or at least the ability to customize them without relying on their proprietary software.
This. I greatly prefer mice with a large number of customizable buttons, but they're something of a rarity and universally use Windows-only software.
Linux?
