* Reword some of "Debugging FAQ" & "Miscellaneous FAQ".
Mostly grammatical wording of some parts and missing capitalization
- DFU tools do /not/ allow you to write into the bootloader (unless
you throw in extra fruit salad of options), so there is little risk

## NKRO Doesn't work
First you have to compile firmware with this build option `NKRO_ENABLE` in **Makefile**.

Try `Magic`**N** command(`LShift+RShift+N` by default) when **NKRO** still doesn't work. You can use this command to toggle between **NKRO** and **6KRO** mode temporarily. In some situations **NKRO** doesn't work you need to switch to **6KRO** mode, in particular when you are in BIOS.

If your firmware built with `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE` you need to turn its switch on by `BootMagic`**N** command(`Space+N` by default). This setting is stored in EEPROM and kept over power cycles.

## Can't Read Column of Matrix Beyond 16
Use `1UL<<16` instead of `1<<16` in `read_cols()` in [matrix.h] when your columns goes beyond 16.
In C `1` means one of [int] type which is [16 bit] in case of AVR so you can't shift left more than 15. You will get unexpected zero when you say `1<<16`. You have to use [unsigned long] type with `1UL`.

## USB 3 Compatibility
I heard some people have a problem with USB 3 port, try USB 2 port.
Some problems can be fixed by switching from a USB 3.x port to a USB 2.0 port.

As of now root of its cause is not clear but some build options seem to be related. In Makefile try to disable those options like `CONSOLE_ENABLE`, `NKRO_ENABLE`, `SLEEP_LED_ENABLE` and/or others.
