For an even more configurable mouse, check out the Ploopy mouse and trackballs: https://ploopy.co/ https://ploopy.co/ Fully open source, the mouse (that I own) uses QMK for its firmware. Which means I can use key binding layers rather than single buttons. In other words, one button acts like a shift button that modifies the action of the other buttons. So I have easy access to page up/down, mission control (what was exposé in macOS), paste plain (shift+option+cmd+v), etc etc. I don't have anything Emacs specific on the mouse, but my keyboard (Keychron Q10) has several macro keys that I have meta-x and ctrl-g bound to.

strange. It is 3d-printed and fully customizable, but they only have right-handed. even the pcb seems to be right-handed.

At 200+ euros, it puts a high barrier for entry. I might try it someday when I have more money, but I have other pressing things to buy first. :(

Oh, that looks lovely! I'll need to check them out. > Fully open source, the mouse (that I own) uses QMK for its firmware. Which means I can use key binding layers rather than single buttons. On this topic, I bought a System76 laptop this year, and I'm in love with its keyboard-configurator. The firmware for the keyboard is also fully open source, and the GUI configurator is really excellent. It's a little limited in WHAT you can bind (without going down the rabbit hole too deep), but there are no limits at all on WHERE you can bind it, and it's beautiful. I made both left ctrl and fn work as ctrl (I could have made fn into hyper, too) and this is the first keyboard where I was able to do that (my previous laptop, Thinkpad, could only swap ctrl/fn functions). Open source firmware FTW! :)

I am an avid Ploopy shill, but I can't convince anyone vaguely interested in libre peripherals to try it on account of the name "Ploopy". :/

  Yeah, the name does pose a barrier to adoption, but I think the owner likes it like that.
