+## Programmable Button
+
+Programmable button is a feature that can be used to send keys that have no
+predefined meaning.
+This means they can be processed on the host side by custom software without
+colliding without the operating system trying to interpret these keys.
+
+The keycodes are emitted according to the HID usage
+"Telephony Device Page" (0x0B), "Programmable button usage" (0x07).
+On Linux (> 5.14) they are handled automatically and translated to `KEY_MACRO#`
+keycodes.
+(Up to `KEY_MACRO30`)
+
+### Enabling Programmable Button support
+
+To enable Programmable Button, add the following line to your keymap’s `rules.mk`:
+
+```c
+PROGRAMMABLE_BUTTON_ENABLE = yes
+```
+
+### Mapping
+
+In your keymap you can use the following keycodes to map key presses to Programmable Buttons:
+

+### API
+
+You can also use a dedicated API defined in `programmable_button.h` to interact with this feature:
+
+```
+void programmable_button_clear(void);
+void programmable_button_send(void);
+void programmable_button_on(uint8_t code);
+void programmable_button_off(uint8_t code);
+bool programmable_button_is_on(uint8_t code);
+uint32_t programmable_button_get_report(void);
+void programmable_button_set_report(uint32_t report);
+```
