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'll edit this with the soldering tutorial I learned from when I get home tonight.

Build guide (granted it's for a different board, but it gives you the basic gist of how to put these together)- https://input.club/devices/infinity-keyboard/infinity-60-build-guide/
Soldering iron I use- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MQD7M4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I keep mine set to 420f on the dial. This is a little on the warm side but if you're using lead free solder you'll need it that toasty. A soldering station with variable temp is ideal, but this will get you by for a fraction of the price. I also recommend something like this- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZPGDLA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to clean your iron with, and a solder sucker (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003FHYL7I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) if you end up needing to de/resolder something.
This is the solder I prefer for doing small electronics like this- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B61TWGY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If you have any questions after reading through the build guide and watching the video, feel free to hit me up :)

PCB mounted stabs will anchor to the PCB via the pins on the stabilizer pieces whereas plate mounted ones just clip onto the plate.
