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 know the history, I'm aware of it, I recognize it. It's simply not relevant to a collection of plastic pieces that you press into your keyboard. Does this not seem asinine to anyone else?
The Rising Sun is part of American culture, too--a rather large part of it. The USA has no fewer than 9 cities or towns named "Rising Sun", and countless communities, businesses, and even a summer camp for children suffering from autism--all bearing the name "Rising Sun". This is only a fraction of how deeply ingrained it is for us. To put it simply; the complaints I'm reading here are based on lived experiences that are NOT shared among the majority. We respect and empathize, but this does not mean we must BE you. The decision to remove the Rising Sun mods was based on the extremely angry, vocal complaints of the few, while the majority of people here do not see the Japanese flag OR the Rising Sun as a symbol of war anymore--despite having family members who fought one in which every piece of destroyed armament on that front bore the Red Sun insignia.
Never forget the atrocities that occurred--I'd never suggest otherwise, but that's the best any of us can do. To treat the rest of the world as if they are stupid and ignorant of history simply for disagreeing with you is belligerent and condescending; many of us know our history, have made peace with it as best we can, and will bear the burden until we die.
So let us have our fucking keyboard modifications that we think look neat so we can all continue to live in the first world, where freedom was traded, stolen, and earned by the blood-stained hands of our fathers. If you're even privileged enough to be reading this, you should be answering for what you've done rather than openly protesting on a "group buy" website about keyboards for christ's sake.
tl;dr: How you aren't disgusted with yourselves is beyond me. Massdrop: Bring back the Rising Sun mod or accept that you're willing to cater to the insipid complaints of hypocrites. If you think it ends here, you're wrong; if this decision stands, it's just the beginning.
