The exact rate varies but typically Once we know the state of every switch on our keyboard we have to map that to a keycode. In QMK this is done by making use of C macros to allow us to separate the definition of the physical layout from the definition of keycodes. -At the keyboard level we define a C macro (typically named `KEYMAP()`) which maps our keyboard's matrix to physical keys.
