It's more like full-hardware-no-software work.
Basically if you want to use this on your "standard" keyboards bought off the shelf, you have to either:
1. Open your keyboard, replace the keyboard controller with something that you can program via soldering etc.
or 2. Pray your keyboard doesn't use a mask ROM to store its firmware, and it has a powerful enough MCU as keyboard controller, then figure out how to reflash it and port QMK to it blindly.
