both printing as generic text only and trying to flash on tkg.io don't work when trying to flash the board. how am i supposed to flash this?

SakeJamsGeneric printing worked for me. Try a different computer / USB slot / cable. Also, try not to connect it to a USB hub while flashing. The only issue I had was that it showed printing and never actually "finished" the print. I just wait a minute or two and then pulled the usb. It took the config. Hope that helps.

VonSwoopingtonokay so i finally managed to get it to flash but now i'm having a problem where the rgb won't turn on on the back. I set it up exactly the same as in the guide, and fn3/fn4 should turn it on and off, but instead it just makes the windows disconnect noise when i try to turn it on. i've reflashed several times and i'm not sure what's going on tbh

SakeJamsThat is odd. I haven't run across that issue. Maybe you have a broken PCB? I thought I had one as well but it took me a couple tries to ensure the board flashed properly. Massdrop sent me a replacement board in the meantime but I'm shipping it back. You can reach out for a new one but they do want the broken one shipped to them. If you've already soldered everything then that's going to suck.

VonSwoopingtonHere is the layout I used to flash it with.
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/850e6b96f87499dfe1d944c54194c5b1 I added the FN1-24 to layout and when I flashed. Now all of my back lighting is available without the remote.

SakeJamsHere is the steps I took to get mine flashed.
1. Get layout finished... http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/850e6b96f87499dfe1d944c54194c5b1 2. Copy raw data from layout in raw data tab. 3. Go to https://tkg.io/# 4. Select RedScarfIII from list. 5. Select Simple as Layer Mode 6. Paste Raw Data in Composite Layer 7 . Follow Directions in Creating Your FN Layer In Keyboard Layout Editor @ https://www.massdrop.com/talk/732/programming-the-red-scarf-keyboards 8. Download EEP File. 9. Make sure keyboard is unplugged. Hold down ESC key. Plug Keyboard in. This puts the keyboard in EEP flash mode. 10. Open saved EEP File in Notepad 11. When you plugged in the keyboard in EEP flash mode it created a printer called "Generic / Text Only) 12. Print the EEP file. If you watch the print Queue. It never seems to finish. I just waited like 60 seconds and pulled the plug. 13. Wait 10 seconds plug in keyboard. POOF all programmed.

CyypherI've done exactly this and it hasn't worked. I've never had a problem with flashing or reflashing my old RS96. I even went as far as buying batteries for the remote and trying to use that but it hasn't worked. The only thing I can assume is that the pcb is borked.
It makes the windows disconnect sound when I try to turn it on, both with the flashed layout and the remote. Can't really understand what I'm doing wrong here.

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".
