Silicone Gel Keycap Set

I got these last time the Drop went live and, after reading some of the comments about the Silicone not staying on the key switches very good, I was skeptical as to whether or not I made a good choice in purchasing them. Got them in and, the comments weren't far off; these have a small chance of coming loose when typing, and in transit I always had at least one 'cap' come off when removing my keyboard from it's travel sleeve. HOWEVER, I converted to a Topre board (with absolutely no regrets) and got the Cherry MX key switch replacements from 1upkeyboards.com (also occasionally available on MassDrop) and, due to the shape of the custom Topre/MX replacements, these key caps stay solidly in place. I wanted to share this information in the event that anyone finds themselves in this unique set of keyboard circumstances they can be confident that these caps won't fall off their key switches at any time. Also, this is the smoothest and most amazingly comfortable typing experience that can be achieved on a keyboard, imho. I have the Leopold FC660C.

Edit (11/6/18): I stand by my statement; This is truly the smoothest feeling typing experience by far, as I've tried several other boards now. I'm astonished by the smoothness of the keystrokes. I also lubed the switches since my last posting which somehow improved the feel even further. The only key I struggle with is the Caps Lock key because it's the largest key that lacks a stabilizer. No complaints though. Love this.

Fennec @Fennec Checked my email history and, thanks to MassDrop's outstanding automated system, I see that I joined the Drop on June 13th, the Drop ended on the 17th and they shipped approx. 10 days later, on the 27th. Shipped from New Jersey if I remember correctly, only about a week or so lead time to California.

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".
