@@ 16,4 16,6 @@ Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
 Unlike the TMK firmware, this command should be run from the root of
 the repository, not the directory containing this readme.
 
+If your keyboard layout is a mirror image of what you expected (i.e. you do not get QWERTY on the left but YTREWQ on the right), then you have an A-Star powered Atreus (older than March 2016) with PCB labels facing *down* instead of up. Specify that by adding `PCBDOWN=yes` to your `make` commands.
+
 See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/build_environment_setup.html) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/make_instructions.html) for more information.
