This is about as "true" as fully replacing a Honda Civic's engine with something that has 10x the horsepower, and then advertising that you managed to get 10x the horsepower out of the Civic using the Civic's engine.

Your argument is more one of philosophy / law / BS than something anyone would take as true.

And I think more importantly (I'm not going to engage with this branch of conversation beyond this)

Does the person buying a Civic capable of running 10X care? No. It's a 10X Civic. They've already crashed.

This doesn't even remotely address anything anyone has said regarding your claim about playing a game with the "mouse's firmware". At least you're now aware of how ridiculous it sounds, but clearly you don't care so long as you believe you could win this in some imaginary court case.

Well yeah, GP's argument applies here too: whatever engine you insert into your Honda Civic will be the Civic's engine, so the statement would be correct - as long as you specify that it's the Civic's engine and not the Civic engine (as in the original one).

To be less academic: I don't think there is a mouse in this world where you can actually modify the firmware, because using flash memory for something this dirt cheap and with a functionality that hasn't changed for decades is out of the question, so this is probably the only way to do it...

Pretty sure that the multi-modal wireless mice (think Logitech MX Master) have a firmware for the mouse and a firmware for the receiver.

(how I know: I managed to softbrick one - and reflash to working condition.)
