Microprocessors are really cheap.  Devices like mice should support
customization
by individual device, which would greatly simplify the device support in
the OS.

Developer time is a limiting resource for open source software.   There
have
been several documents explaining why the effort to maintain X11 has become
unsupportable and has been consuming resources needed elsewhere.   I expect
future devices like mice and keyboards will become much smarter and fully
configurable, allowing simplifications of OS-level support.   Configuration
will
be done by running an app that updates the configuration stored in each
device.   Today you can buy a mouse with limited programmable options

but the app runs on Windows.
