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".

My first impressions: - Looks good so far, though some of the keys have a shine to it on the surface (no parcitular pattern here, every key has a different reflection). Not sure if that will fade, these are my first dye-sublimated caps. See pictures below.
- The homing keys are pretty difficult to find, but I might get used to it.
- The sound on my Novatouch is the best I've had so far (compared to stock keycaps, thick pbt gradient keycaps, cheap tai-hao keycaps, thick blank pbt keycaps from aliexpress). Even the spacebar creates a fairly deep sound.
- The colors are pretty much what I expected, I like them. The orange on the bauhaus set does pop more than the blue green and red, and as explained by Miito they weren't initially created to fit in with those.
- My backspace key is crooked. Not sure if that's the key itself or my Novatouch to blame, will investigate further.
I will just drop tons of pictures in here as I'm sure people who are waiting can't get enough samples of what to expect. Notice the shine pattern on the left orange shift key, and it not being uniform across all keys.
The pictures are under different lighting conditions. Some are taken with sunlight, some with direct artificial light, and some with indirect artificial light.

Overall I rate the caps a solid 9/10, and the fulfillment with delays a 4/10. Not sure if a 15$ discount makes up for it. But in the end I'd rather have nice keycaps and wait a couple of months, than have crappy keycaps within 2 months, given that I already payed the hefty price for them.
I can't wait to get my hands on the bauhaus icon set!
My jury is still out on what I will do with these anyway. I like the texture and font a lot but I'm not sure I like typing with them (kinda critical). It probably has more to do with the height of my desk than anything but the num row on my Pok3r seems far away.
I also just got a set of SA 1965 and those feel like they jump up to meet my fingers but are a lot louder and don't have any texture.
Nice problems to have though. :)
