# QMK Hardware Drivers
QMK is used on a lot of different hardware. While support for the most common MCU's and matrix configurations is built-in there are a number of drivers that can be added to a keyboard to support additional hardware. Examples include mice and other pointing devices, i/o expanders for split keyboards, bluetooth modules, and LCD, OLED, and TFT screens.
<!-- FIXME: This should talk about how drivers are integrated into QMK and how you can add your own driver.

## ProMicro (AVR Only)
Restructure the hardware and feature docs to make things easier to find (#1888) * fix #1313 by documenting more config.h options * Clean up and organize documentation

Support for addressing pins on the ProMicro by their Arduino name rather than their AVR name. This needs to be better documented, if you are trying to do this and reading the code doesn't help please [open an issue](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/new) and we can help you through the process.

## uGFX
Remove apostrophe from various abbreviations' plural forms (#7050) While this was historically a valid possibility, nowadays, it reads kinda weird, and the [Oxford Dictionaries Online suggests to avoid it](https://english.stackexchange.com/a/56010). Thus, I removed it everywhere I found it.

You can make use of uGFX within QMK to drive character and graphic LCDs, LED arrays, OLED, TFT, and other display technologies. This needs to be better documented, if you are trying to do this and reading the code doesn't help please [open an issue](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/new) and we can help you through the process.

2018-08-10 00:41:48 +00:00
Support for up to 2 drivers. Each driver impliments 2 charlieplex matrices to individually address LEDs using I2C. This allows up to 144 same color LEDs or 32 RGB LEDs. For more information on how to setup the driver see the [RGB Matrix](feature_rgb_matrix.md) page.
