brrkeCheck Amazon (faster, expensive) or Aliexpress (slower) for "Drevo Gramr" - 84 key, 75% layout, available with Outemu Black, Blue, Brown, or Red switches - MUCH more expensive on Amazon Canada though (CDN 140 vs USD 40)

brrkeOut of Shalakazaam's options, I would recommend the Z-88 - runs a little cheaper (CDN 60 to 65) and uses "relatively" standard keysizes - the AK33 runs a little more (CDN 80 to 90) and the keys around the arrow cluster are very non-standard

cerementHow are the switches tho. Really looking for my cherrys (brown preferred) or may just get a KBP v 60 with matias switches.

brrkeFor a 75% layout available fast and cheap, the best you're likely to get will be Outemus - some of the loudest blues, but the rest of the colors are pretty generic.
If you're willing to play around with desoldering and soldering, you can get one of the cheapies above and replace the switches.
I only know of two Canadian keyboard shops: https://zealpc.net/ - doesn't have any boards for sale, but prime source for Zealios tactile swithces https://www.mechkeys.ca/ - out of stock on their 84 key board (https://www.mechkeys.ca/product/m84-aluminum-ps2avrgb/)
Otherwise you're hoping you don't get hit with bizarre shipping costs from one of the American shops: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/ - has a 65% with Cherry MX Brown (https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1865) (missing the Function row of a 75%) https://clueboard.co/parts/ - assemble your own 66%
If you're willing to do a 80% then just searching Amazon for Cherry MX Brown will get you a fair selection.

PotipharBreenThat's odd. I didn't mean to post the $39.99 as a reply to the Coolermaster message. It was intended for the one about Amazon and Aliexpress a few positions up the list.

brrkeAK33 geek (by far the sexier of the two options) -- https://www.amazon.ca/Mechanical-illuminated-Keyboard-keys-White-Version-Blue/dp/B01N6MBHFS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1488655446&sr=8-7&keywords=ak33
Z-88 (ugly af but a lot $30 cheaper) -- https://www.amazon.ca/Keyboard-Water-Proof-Mechanical-Anti-Ghost-Switches/dp/B01MF5H2ZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488655506&sr=8-1&keywords=z-88

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".
