  * The matrix description in the vendor-supplied JSON file for kbfirmware.com
- * had 12 rows:
+ * had 9 columns:
+ *     { D0, D1, D2, D3, D5, D4, D6, D7, B4 }
+ * and 12 rows:
  *     { B7, B3, B2, B1, B0, E6, F0, F1, F4, F5, F6, F7 }
  * However, the row 6 was completely empty, and the pin F0 was not actually
  * routed anywhere on the PCB, therefore this row was removed to save some
  * resources (the EEPROM space for dynamic keymaps is especially scarce).
+ *
+ * After doing the above change, the matrix was transposed (rows and columns
+ * were swapped), because a matrix with the COL2ROW layout can be scanned much
+ * more efficiently than a matrix with the ROW2COL layout (depending on various
+ * optimizations, the difference in scan rate can be over 2 times).  Because of
+ * this, the "columns" in the matrix layout now mostly correspond to physical
+ * rows, and the "rows" have mostly vertical physical orientation.
