By setting `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_USER` (and/or `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_KB`) in `rules.mk`, new effects can be defined directly from userspace, without having to edit any QMK core files. By setting `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_USER = yes` in `rules.mk`, new effects can be defined directly from your keymap or userspace, without having to edit any QMK core files. To declare new effects, create a `led_matrix_user.inc` file in the user keymap directory or userspace folder.
To declare new effects, create a new `led_matrix_user/kb.inc` that looks something like this: ::: tip
Hardware maintainers who want to limit custom effects to a specific keyboard can create a `led_matrix_kb.inc` file in the root of the keyboard directory, and add `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_KB = yes` to the keyboard level `rules.mk`.
`led_matrix_user.inc` should go in the root of the keymap directory. :::
`led_matrix_kb.inc` should go in the root of the keyboard directory.
To use custom effects in your code, simply prepend `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_` to the effect name specified in `LED_MATRIX_EFFECT()`. For example, an effect declared as `LED_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect)` would be referenced with:
```c
led_matrix_mode(led_MATRIX_CUSTOM_my_cool_effect);
```

To switch to your custom effect programmatically, simply call `led_matrix_mode()` and prepend `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_` to the effect name your specified in `LED_MATRIX_EFFECT()`. For example, an effect declared as `LED_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect)` would be referenced with:
