+# Default Wind X R1 Layout
+
+This is the default layout that comes flashed on every Wind X R1. For the most
+part it's a straightforward and easy to follow layout. The only unusual key is
+the key in the upper left, which sends Escape normally, but Grave when any of
+the Ctrl, Alt, or GUI modifiers are held down.
