Keychron Announces First Open-Source Firmware for Gaming Mice

Keychron has unveiled ZGM, a groundbreaking open-source firmware designed specifically for gaming mice. Scheduled for release in early 2027 on the G6 HE model, this project aims to bring the customization and transparency of QMK and ZMK to the mouse market. By allowing users to modify firmware directly without background software, Keychron challenges the industry norm of locked-down peripherals and invites community collaboration.

Keyboards have QMK. They have ZMK. Mice have… nothing.
