Do any of you guys now a company that produces quality mice where their firmware is open source and can be flashed/programmed with opens source software?

Check out Ploopy. Their main focus is trackballs, but they have a mouse too.

I got completely sidetracked by this, but who on earth holds their mouse like this? an image of a person's hand on a Ploopy mouse, with the middle finger on the left click button, and the ring finger on the right click button.

Fair, but those bits on the sides of the main mouse buttons are also buttons

Lol that's certainly one way to do it. I have actually seen a few mice with three buttons and a wheel but that's obviously not whatever's going on here

It has 4 buttons on top.

I have 2. One has broken twice from over use, so I reprinted the broken piece and swapped it.
