54If you're lucky, the programming script does this automagically for you. If
55however this doesn't work for you, you need to enter the bootloader mode manually

59The bootloader key is the top left key of your matrix. For a standard board
60from winkeyless.kr this is `L_Ctrl`, but for some custom boards running ps2avrGB
61this might be different. For the Pearl it's `Esc`, for a b.fake it is `q`. If
62you're unsure you should be able to see the key in the bootmapper client.
