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".

After receiving this board from the last drop (my condolences to those who have yet to receive theirs :'( mine came early) I relegated the V60 to a dedicated gaming board that my kids have access to, thereby condemning it to an inevitable catastrophic demise.
I have programmed the thing extensively, used it for both gaming and coding, and regularly transport the keyboard for use on multiple machines and haven't experienced any of the glitches noted by some others.
The ability to program RGB by individual key is amazing and incredibly useful imho. I have one of the layers on the board heavily programmed with macros and the myriad color options help me to keep them all straight.
The visual impact of that RGB rainbow also serves as a helpful reminder that I'm on the macro layer so I don't start typing before switching back to another layer!
I just bought a non-RGB Pok3r with PBT caps and clear switches (also in the photos) from a co-worker who "upgraded" his clacker to a Leopold FC660 topre and I don't think the clears are anything worth giving up the RGB programmability for...
The PBT caps on the other hand, compelled me to join a drop for a set of backlit double shot PBTs that just closed a few days ago. Combined with the solid construction and tight build of this board, the PBTs provide the "cherry on top" of a fantastic keyboard that would be a bargain ast any price.
Just curious in knowing what switches you went for and how are they when used with the work you do?
I got the MX browns with my RGB because they are perfect for my application; tactile without the click. I might have tried the blues this time around (I also have browns on the V60) but I probably wouldn't have lived very long in the open-area development team spaces I work in!
Pretty amazing gizmo. Provides power to my workstation and handles all of the USB / display adapters through a single USB C connection.
