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.
They use QMK, which really is keyboard firmware with added on mouse functionality
