If you have not yet you should read the [Keyboard Guidelines](hardware_keyboard_guidelines) to get a sense of how keyboards fit into QMK.
QMK has a number of features to simplify working with keyboards. For most, you don't have to write a single line of code. To get started, run `qmk new-keyboard`:

### Hardware Configuration
At the top of the `info.json` you'll find USB related settings. These control how your keyboard appears to the Operating System. If you don't have a good reason to change you should leave the `usb.vid` as `0xFEED`. For the `usb.pid` you should pick a number that is not yet in use.

Windows and macOS will display the `manufacturer` and `keyboard_name` in the list of USB devices. `lsusb` on Linux instead prefers the values in the list maintained by the [USB ID Repository](http://www.linux-usb.org/usb-ids.html). By default, it will only use `manufacturer` and `keyboard_name` if the list does not contain that `usb.vid` / `usb.pid`. `sudo lsusb -v` will show the values reported by the device, and they are also present in kernel logs after plugging it in.

The size of the `matrix_pins.cols` and `matrix_pins.rows` arrays infer the size of the matrix (previously `MATRIX_ROWS` and `MATRIX_COLS`).

#### Direct Pin Matrix
To configure a keyboard where each switch is connected to a separate pin and ground instead of sharing row and column pins, use `matrix_pins.direct`. The mapping defines the pins of each switch in rows and columns, from left to right. The size of the `matrix_pins.direct` array infers the size of the matrix. Use `NO_PIN` to fill in blank spaces. Overrides the behaviour of `diode_direction`, `matrix_pins.cols` and `matrix_pins.rows`.
To configure a keyboard where each switch is connected to a separate pin and ground instead of sharing row and column pins, use `matrix_pins.direct`. This overrides the behaviour of `diode_direction`, `matrix_pins.cols` and `matrix_pins.rows`, and they should not be specified together.
```json
"matrix_pins": {
"direct": [
["F1", "E6", "B0", "B2", "B3" ],

### Layout macros
Here, the matrix dimensions are inferred directly from the dimensions of the `matrix_pins.direct` array. Since there are no row or column pins to prescribe the matrix dimensions, you can arrange it however you like. Each "row" must contain the same number of "column"s; use `null` to fill in blank spaces, but try to minimize them.
Next is configuring Layout Macro(s). These define the physical arrangement of keys, and its position within the matrix that a switch are connected to. This allows you to have a physical arrangement of keys that differs from the wiring matrix.
