168# Matrix Initialization Code 168# Keyboard Initialization Code
169 169
170Before a keyboard can be used the hardware must be initialized. QMK handles initialization of the keyboard matrix itself, but if you have other hardware like LEDs or i&#xb2;c controllers you will need to set up that hardware before it can be used. 170There are several steps in the keyboard initialization process. Depending on what you want to do, it will influence which function you should use.
171 171
172These are the three main initialization functions, listed in the order that they're called.
172 173
173### Example `matrix_init_user()` Implementation 174* `keyboard_pre_init_*` - Happens before most anything is started. Good for hardware setup that you want running very early.
175* `matrix_init_*` - Happens midway through the firmware's startup process. Hardware is initialized, but features may not be yet.
176* `keyboard_post_init_*` - Happens at the end of the firmware's startup process. This is where you'd want to put "customization" code, for the most part.
177
178!> For most people, the `keyboard_post_init_user` function is what you want to call. For instance, this is where you want to set up things for RGB Underglow.
179
180## Keyboard Pre Initialization code
181
182This runs very early during startup, even before the USB has been started.
183
184Shortly after this, the matrix is initialized.
185
186For most users, this shouldn't be used, as it's primarily for hardware oriented initialization.
187
188However, if you have hardware stuff that you need initialized, this is the best place for it (such as initializing LED pins).

175This example, at the keyboard level, sets up B1, B2, and B3 as LED pins. 192This example, at the keyboard level, sets up B1, B2, and B3 as LED pins.

210## Matrix Initialization Code
211
212This is called when the matrix is initialized, and after some of the hardware has been set up, but before many of the features have been initialized.
213
214This is useful for setting up stuff that you may need elsewhere, but isn't hardware related nor is dependant on where it's started.

224
225This is ran as the very last task in the keyboard initialization process. This is useful if you want to make changes to certain features, as they should be initialized by this point.

195Whenever possible you should customize your keyboard by using `process_record_*()` and hooking into events that way, to ensure that your code does not have a negative performance impact on your keyboard. However, in rare cases it is necessary to hook into the matrix scanning. Be extremely careful with the performance of code in these functions, as it will be called at least 10 times per second. 248Whenever possible you should customize your keyboard by using `process_record_*()` and hooking into events that way, to ensure that your code does not have a negative performance impact on your keyboard.
