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".

Not exactly complaining about the price, but my understanding of mixing shit in resin and pouring that mix into a cast it has me genuinely baffled about the price; especially considering how little material is in each keycap. It's not like metal ore is mined, refined, ground, and done in batches of one all by Monks in the Himalayas...right? Hahaha
Just doing simple pours isn't complex but the after work can be. Many resin casting guys say the same. That's all I know. Probably didn't help much. But I also buy artist caps to support their later stages. ;)
Jokes aside, I absolutely understand the point you're making. My commentary is on the comical ludicracy of pricing too often soaring beyond reason to what you're getting in a general sense. I don't intend to belittle the product or the efforts made by the people that made it. It's just an issue with how I can't help but see things in a compositional fashion. I don't see bitchin' keycaps, I see cast aluminum in a pre-existant profile. It's my fault for not being so nerdy.
