+## Timer functionality
+
+It's possible to start timers and read values for time-specific events - here's an example:
+
+```c
+static uint16_t key_timer;
+key_timer = timer_read();
+
+if (timer_elapsed(key_timer) < 100) {
+  // do something if less than 100ms have passed
+} else {
+  // do something if 100ms or more have passed
+}
+```
+
+It's best to declare the `static uint16_t key_timer;` at the top of the file, outside of any code blocks you're using it in.
