+## USB Endpoint Limitations
+
+In order to provide services over USB, QMK has to use USB endpoints.
+These are a finite resource: each microcontroller has only a certain number.
+This limits what features can be enabled together.
+If the available endpoints are exceeded, a build error is thrown.
+
+The following features can require separate endpoints:
+
+* `MOUSEKEY_ENABLE`
+* `EXTRAKEY_ENABLE`
+* `CONSOLE_ENABLE`
+* `NKRO_ENABLE`
+* `MIDI_ENABLE`
+* `RAW_ENABLE`
+* `VIRTSER_ENABLE`
+
+In order to improve utilisation of the endpoints, the HID features can be combined to use a single endpoint.
+By default, `MOUSEKEY`, `EXTRAKEY`, and `NKRO` are combined into a single endpoint.
+
+The base keyboard functionality can also be combined into the endpoint,
+by setting `KEYBOARD_SHARED_EP = yes`.
+This frees up one more endpoint,
+but it can prevent the keyboard working in some BIOSes,
+as they do not implement Boot Keyboard protocol switching.
+
+Combining the mouse also breaks Boot Mouse compatibility.
+The mouse can be uncombined by setting `MOUSE_SHARED_EP = no` if this functionality is required.
