-Start and Back are not extra buttons: `0x37`/`0x36` are the first two
-buttons of the Upper Right MFD's top row, which is where the config
-buttons live on the real board — so the `9` and `0` keys do the same
-thing.
+The config buttons (`0x37`/`0x36`) are the first two buttons of the
+Upper Right MFD's top row, reachable from the keyboard on `9` and `0`.
+Start and Back ship unbound so you can put anything there; the
+commented lines in `bindings.txt` show how.
