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".

"I clearly have a defective key but Joinhandmade will not replace or repair my product. Good that Massdrop is giving me my money back. I will stay away from any Joinhandmade products. If they are not even willing to give you a working product and took them months to saying just that."
I'll pass.
My initial comment was a response to someone saying it was $100 - it wasn't, it was $65 - in the same price range as this Hammer artisan spacebar.
Joiha clearly has quality control issues, and their brand name has gone down the toilet, in large part because they refuse to support their products. I own 4 Joiha keycaps, and none of them have any sort of quality issue. Having said that, I have also not purchased any Joiha keycaps in a long time, and I will not do so in the future, due to their not standing by their own products + their quality issues.
The reason Joiha's spacebar was brought up was because artisan spacebars are few and far between, and very few artisans will even bother producing them. Joiha even said they will no longer produce spacebars, since they couldn't even break even on their production of their spacebars (yes, it is damn labor intensive to make artisan spacebars). Hammer's spacebars are actually impressive because they can deliver at the same price point, without sacrificing quality, like Joiha has apparently had to do.
I happen to have both, and I have 0 issues with either. They're both incredible pieces as well. The price point makes sense, due to the difficulty of producing artisan spacebars, and the fact they cover 6.25 units of your keyboard. If you take the base price for an artisan, let's say $25 to cover 1u, you're actually getting a discount. You're entitled to your opinion, as well as your spending habits, but don't assume you know better.
