This set would be selling even better with real ISO support

My_ThoughtsThis set would be higher price with real ISO support, which would put off 90% of people who wouldn't use ISO, therefore not reaching lower pricing tiers. Not to mention that there are actually loads of different languages for ISO. I used to be annoyed by the lack of ISO support, now I just use ANSI layout and US international keyboard language.

MalenkyDo you remember the story of the Babel Tower: Languages that can be written with the Latin Alphabet, are better typed using ANSI US International layout, if we were using it almost half of the world could share the same layout and character set in their boards, conveying a huge scale of the economy to the production of computer keyboards; however, the differences have led to low cost ways to print the legends to produce customized version of the layouts intended for different languages, making the production of high quality key caps, like the ones in this set, unfeasible, as it is the use of mechanical keyboards, besides the need to have slim keyboards to fit in small packages like the laptops.

MalenkyI really think Tw0mb3ry has made the right decision here, it's the best of both worlds. It doesn't make sense to have the majority to pay more for such a niche thing, from what I see most UK users are using ANSI.

iLoveTomb3rYSure, in this case it's the right decision. But when 100 of 100 sellers do that same decision, Massdrop turns from an international group buy site to a US-centric circlejerk.

CiderusMaybe you international layout users can organize a group buy for an international kit. The only way I see that being feasible is if you make it one big kit with every key missing from this set. It'll probably cost as almost as much as the base set unless you can get some serious numbers to join, considering GMK's MOQ is 150.
I think the folks complaining about lack of international support are way out of their element. Just the fact that this set has some ISO support included is great, considering all the non-ISO users are helping paying for it.

Ciderus100 out of 100? The overwhelming majority of custom keysets sold here are made by SP and have always included an ISO kit, albeit at an extra cost so that us ANSI users aren't funding your special needs.

CiderusWell you can't expect others to put food to your mouth can you, run a group buy yourself if you want something niche. Not crying like babies.

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".
