## Supported Debounce Algorithms ## Supported Debounce Algorithms
QMK supports multiple debounce algorithms through its debounce API. QMK supports multiple algorithms through its debounce API.
### Debounce selection ### Debounce Time
Keyboards may select one of the core debounce methods by adding the following line into ```rules.mk```: Default debounce time is 5 milliseconds and it can be changed with the following line in `config.h`:
```
#define DEBOUNCE 10
```
?> Setting `DEBOUNCE` to `0` will disable this feature.
### Debounce Method
Keyboards may select one of the core debounce methods by adding the following line into `rules.mk`:
``` ```
DEBOUNCE_TYPE = <name of algorithm> DEBOUNCE_TYPE = <name of algorithm>
