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?

Edit: Apparently there are valid ways to hold a mouse like this. TIL 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.

Honest answer: pro gamers. I see pro Starcraft 1, 2, and Counter-Strike pros do this. I think it's weird but I guess it works for them.
