cbong23I'm currently using this on my Mac and even though it's not my first mech, it's my first mech I'm using solely for my Mac.
The Windows key works by default as Command, but it's it's in the wrong spot compared to a Mac keyboard. Control works like normal, and Alt works like option by default. To make it the same layout, I simply swapped the Windows and Alt keys in the keyboard settings straight on the computer. So now Alt works like Command and Windows works like option. I use it a lot for graphic design programs, so having them back in the proper place really helps.
The only issue is that there's no Command on the right side, because where it would be is where the FN key is. I find myself sometimes trying to use it, but I mainly use the one on the left anyway, so it's not a big deal.

TurboCassThis is actually a really easy fix I'm not at the office so I don't have a keyboard plugged in, so the pics I'm sharing aren't quite accurate as you'll also have to choose your keyboard but see below in the keyboard system preferences

You can also swap your keys (best part of a mech is swapping the caps right?) so tehy reflect correctly
Thats what I did on mine

cbong23If you want the keys to match your Mac keyboards, all you have to do is head into System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys. Only change Option to Command & Command to Option. I attached a screenshot as well. This will make your keys from left to right go "Control, Option, Command" just as a Mac keyboard (in that order).

Saikou0takuAs @pooteRs has said, there's options for all white LED's additionally, they are pretty easy to desolder if you wanted to change them out. I really liked the blue, and the orange, but not together.

TurboCassI have never used the right side command key in the almost 10 years I've been using Macs.

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".
