Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?
Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".

There was some talk a few pages back (page 11) about MX space bars not fitting - the user KellyH talked about it, but, if there was a fit problem, wouldn't there be more complaining? Can anyone weigh in on that, or tell us more about that issue?
Also, Hyperfuse (and others) mentioned deeper caps working better than shallower ones. So: DSA or Cherry = bad; OEM or SA = good?
While we're talking to (or about) Hyperfuse: what's the advantage of the Hyperfuse silencing rings over the $12 "landing pads" sold by EliteKeyboards? (From what I understand, the main "issue" with the Novatouch is the bounce back rattle; is this solved by the landing pads, rings, or both?)
As for the silencing rings, I have Hypersphere's silencing rings and have been super happy. The advantage of them is that they just work. With the $12 landing pads, you have to iron them down, which takes some time, and then putting them on is supposedly somewhat finicky. If you read any accounts of installing the landing pads, it takes a long time to iron them and get them put on properly. The Hypersphere rings slide right on and work perfectly.
The reason why you need silencing rings is that the Novatouch makes a lot of noise when you let go of the key. With the silencing ring, it is almost silent. The only thing about the silencing rings is that they go on the slider, so you have to take the whole keyboard apart to put them on (took me an evening to do the mod).
Dang, that pretty much kills my interest in this board. I really wanted my Jukebox set on there, but not if I have to permanently modify my spacebar for it :/
