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'd also like to know if wireless/bluetooth mechanicals are a thing yet..I don't think they are without mods, but maybe someone here knows of one :)

Anything that has a Cherry MX or compatible stem will work. It all comes down to what size you want, do you want it programable, do you want to build it your self or pre-built.
Some more popular ones are the Filco Magistouch 2, CoolMaster Storm Quickfire, Ducky(several versions). There are hundreds if not thousands of boards out there with various options and layouts there there are multiple types of switches.
Here are some resources to get you started, but be warned, once you head down the mechanical keyboard path, there is no turning back, and the addiction will overcome you.
