The true magic of QMK is that you can flash the programming onto the device and all of these features work independent of the system it's connected to.

Often keyboards are advertised as having much of the same customizability but it depends on companion software to work.

That is not the case with QMK

That is a seriously underrated feature and I wish I could find a 'mmo mouse' with the same capability. Would pay many dollars for this, personally.

There's a company called Ploopy that makes some QMK mice.

I don't think they have any quite like what you are looking for, they seem to favor Trackball Mice.

Seems like a cool company though! Someone's gotta come around and make one someday.
