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".

One strange thing, however, is that the colored modifier keys are double-shots. On the other hand, the default keycaps appear to me to be laser-engraved with a slightly off-white fill. They still appear to be molded from the same profile, though.
All in all, it was a very satisfying purchase for being only my second MKB. I got it to replace the steelseries 6gv2 that I bought 5 years ago when I first decided to get a "nice" keyboard, and the extra desk space alone was worth the money. I'll have to delve into the reprogrammable keys some other time and discover what advantages that yields, but even without that capability it's a very good keyboard. The backplate is also sufficiently thick that the plastic body doesn't ruin the noise of the keycaps, and I get a very satisfying THUNK noise out of each spacebar press.
