Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
OpenMouse, an open-source configuration tool for gaming peripherals, has expanded into keyboard customization. The latest beta release adds support for keyboards from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, and Wooting, with development underway for Wuque Studio and Kochi Hummingbird 68 models. The project previously focused on mouse configuration across multiple gaming brands.
The beta implementation remains limited and unstable. Testing showed the software could connect to a Wooting 80HE keyboard but failed to load the correct keymap and apply settings adjustments properly. Feature support is still incomplete as the project develops.
The planned feature set includes adjustable actuation, rapid trigger, toggle key, mod tap, SOCD, and DKS functionality alongside RGB customization and support for layers and profiles. Key remapping is not included in the planned features. The capabilities aim to match those found in proprietary keyboard customization applications.
What happened
Not too long ago, the developers behind OpenMouse, the open-source, community-driven alternative mouse configuration suite, revealed that they were working on supporting keyboard customization alongside the myriad gaming mouse models the suite now supports. As per a recent announcement on the project's Discord server, the latest OpenMouse beta release has added support for a number of gaming keyboards from Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, and Wooting. Initial support also appears to be in development for Wuque Studio and the Kochi Hummingbird 68.
