+# Custom Userspace Callback Functions
+
+Specifically QMK works by using customized callback functions for everything. This allows for multiple levels of customization. 
+
+`matrix_scan` calls `matrix_scan_quantum`, which calls `matrix_scan_kb`, which calls `matrix_scan_user`. 
+`process_record` calls a bunch of stuff, but eventually calls `process_record_kb` which calls `process_record_user`
+The same goes for `matrix_init`, `layer_state_set`, `led_set`, and a few other functions.  
+
+All (most) `_user` functions are handled here, in the userspace instead.  To allow keyboard specific configuration, I've created `_keymap` functions that can be called by the keymap.c files instead.
+
+This allows for keyboard specific configuration while maintaining the ability to customize the board.
+
+My [Ergodox EZ Keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/layouts/community/ergodox/drashna/keymap.c) is a good example of this, as it uses the LEDs as modifier indicators.
+
+You can see a list of these files in [callbacks.c](callbacks.c), or a shortend list here
