# Basic Keycodes

## Media Keys
These keycodes are not part of the Keyboard/Keypad usage page. The `SYSTEM_` keycodes are found in the Generic Desktop page, and the rest are located in the Consumer page.
Windows and macOS use different keycodes for "next track" and "previous track". Make sure you choose the keycode that corresponds to your OS.
