+## Custom Row classes
+The keybrd library is flexible for designing custom Rows
+ * RowBase functions can be overridden in a derived class
+ * choice of Debouncers
+ * choice of Scanners
+
+this example illustrates the custom Row classes from a fictional keybrd_Ext library
+the keybrd_Ext library library is for a split keyboard with a matrix on each hand
+the diagrams show the design decisions made by the developer
+
+Row_Ext overrides RowBase::keyWasPressed()
+Row_Ext::keyWasPressed() is used to unstick sticky keys
+
+Row_Ext_uC scans the primary matrix
+Row_Ext_uC is a custom class composed of stock keybrd library classes

+Row_Ext_ShiftRegisters scans the secondary matrix
