They are talking about the firmware that runs on the device. The user front-end to easily configure it is another story. Hopefully it's going to quickly get support for Linux as they are starting from well established Open-source projects for keyboard firmware (QMK and ZMK). If it works like for keyboards, you will be able to configure your mouse with something like VIA that runs on Chrome/Chromium (and maybe one day Firefox ?) using the WebUSB API.

I have 2 keychon keyboards, an old one and a newer one with QMK firmware. Both have worked perfectly well for Linux. The QMK one is easy to configure with VIA once the device permissions are sorted out.

    Please don't bring webusb to firefox. It's just a security liability. only use is for tools made out of mistakes. the web should never have direct access to usb devices and the filesystem.
