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".

Also, I don't know why everyone is freaking out about the FN+Left/Right... It was never advertised that this keyboard featured custom lighting modes (other than on/off and a few different brightness levels) and when you consider the unique layout, it makes sense why it does not mimic the Keycool 87's functions.
The numpad (the keycaps with blue front prints) is toggled on and off via Fn+NmLk and works perfectly.
On the other hand I am glad you are "reasonably happy" with your purchase.
Of the final 6 complaints, one was an opinion that his Kailh Blue switches didn't feel close enough to Cherry Blues, this leaves 5 complaints. Of those 5, one received the wrong product. Two others stated their boards were wobbly when placed on their tables; in this sense, can you be sure it was the board and not their table? My friend just got a Ducky Shine 3 TKL and his old board (Razer Lycosa) didn't wobble on the table but his new Ducky does. Meanwhile his Ducky sits completely flat on my work area. One other was a complaint that some of the keycaps on the board didn't match the picture (something I found as well). So that leaves one guy with a legitimate, proven issue with the quality of the product (the guy with the oddly coloured keycaps). The majority of other complaints were attributed to the lack of LED modes, a feature which was never advertised, and were thus discarded.
To put this into context, 129 people were part of the last drop. 5 "problems"/129 = ~3.8% of people reported problems with their product. Of those 5, two had issues whose root may stem from their desk and not the board, so 3/129=~2.3%. One of those three problems was a buyer who was sent the wrong configuration of the product and another complained about the misrepresentation of the keycaps which could be attributed to Massdrops advertisement. That leaves the only legitimate problems with the quality of the product, the buyer with the discoloured keycaps. That leaves us with the stat of 1/129=0.07% of buyers having a proven issue with the quality of the product. Keep in mind, these statistics are only accounting those buyers who have received their keyboards; more people may come forward in the future. Looking at any of these percentages tells us that the vast majority of buyers had no problems they felt were important enough to post on this discussion about. I'm not sure where you are seeing this "overwhelming response in dissatisfaction". I see an overwhelming lack of response by people who didn't feel the need to post about their purchase (positively or negatively) on this discussion.
