So are the clears more, well, clear, than the coloreds? I was gonna do a candy-colored extravaganza with white (clear) alphas but seems like it would ruin the look to have the clears see-through while the colored caps are so translucent/near-opaque. Can anyone confirm/deny this is the case? Thanks loves <3

sin-chThere are some translucent (hard) white keycaps on aliexpress that I might just go with for the alpha keys. Whatchu guys think?

BlueCrownedI mean...you can see them with your eyes. The colored ones are translucent, not transparent; they have a semi-see through jelly texture closer to the opaque than to the water clear side. You also can't see the internal ribbing from the molding with the coloreds. That's probably why there are people asking for white caps instead of clear in this thread, the clears don't match.
(Another indicator: if you see the LEDs shining through, they'll be a lot more muted through the colored "jelly" texture while you can practically make out the details on the clears.)

sin-chI have a set of these in mango now and they are very see-through, for what it's worth. They appear opaque with no backlight but they are very translucent when backlighting is added.

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".
