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".

Regarding your question you should try as many different mks as possible at friends, mall, meetups ... . You've to decide which switch you prefer for your first one, don't settle without trying, don't listen to others, it's a personal decision, my dream might be your nightmare. A budget to know would be nice then, programmability ... is needed or not. What do you find pleasing your eyes in style, color ... https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ for looking. So many variables, the more infotmation you can give what you want or not, the better the given ideas should be.
Have fun, your journey has just begun, someone buying keycaps first without having a mk, please let me know in two or three years how many mks you possess :)
jokes aside, I'm using a Novatouch myself with Granite R4 and will switch out to "Carbon"touch when I receive this set. btw what do you think is better for topre-mx compatible, GMK or SP SA?
SA sounds and feels good for me, but having in mind that i just sold my SA sets, sticking to Cherry profile and DSA, the answer should be clear regarding my taste, which doesn't have to match yours.
