Here's mine: https://codeberg.org/benjaminhollon/.dotfiles/src/branch/main/.config/mouseless/config.yaml
Pretty complex, I know, but I'm using it to recreate a QMK config I have. :)

I'm a simple person who likes simple things. Like, I like when I can control the mouse with one hand, so this is my wsad-suggestion. the right/left mouse button on shift and tab makes sense when I have to drag and drop stuff. I rarely have to, but I'd rather be able to than not. Besides, I rarely use shift and tab when moving the mouse. I have been using this config for about 5 hours and it feels rather natural. Even the easy integration with my browser is a pretty amazing. mouseless is easy to set up and easy to use <3

Ooh nice qutebrowser integration; I may steal that.
It works really well :) Do note that I've opened an issue with the numbers being +1. So, 4 is actually 5 in the config.
Pretty sure you're supposed to use k2, k3, k4, k5, etc? That's what's in the example config and what I use in mine.

mouseless + shinglify (tiling/floating hybrid) + xfce. So my configuration is quite simple, used for mouse control only, as all other tasks are already managed externally:
# the keyboard devices it reads from, if no devices are specified, it reads from all
devices:
# - "/dev/input/by-id/SOME_KEYBOARD_REPLACE_ME-event-kbd"
# this is executed when mouseless starts, e.g. useful for setting the keyboard layout
# startCommand: "setxkbmap de"
# the default speed for mouse movement and scrolling
baseMouseSpeed: 1750.0 # default 750.0
baseScrollSpeed: 30.0
# the time it takes to accelerate to baseMouseSpeed (in ms), 0 to reach top speed immediately
mouseAccelerationTime: 10.0 # default 200.0
# the shape of the acceleration curve, 1.0 is linear, higher values have more time at low speeds
mouseAccelerationCurve: 2.0 # default 2.0
# speed of the mouse when it starts moving
startMouseSpeed: 0.0
# same for deceleration
mouseDecelerationTime: 300.0
mouseDecelerationCurve: 3.0

My mouseless config is here. The layout is affected by my 34 keys layout on the keyboard called Moonlander.
# Run always mouseless when reloading the sway config file.

Edited:
Now I am auto-running mouseless at startup by the systemd user service mouseless.service with a login user privileges (without root privileges). You can check how to do on https://github.com/jbensmann/mouseless/pull/41.
