I've been hoping that MD would make up with Matt3o and drop the Whitefox but This drop is so tempting now...
Update: Whitefox is now on kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lekashman/whitefox-mechanical-keyboard/description

Pragan21Oh? Didn't know there was a falling out... I was disappointed with mine and sold it almost immediately, engraving and all.

hobbrYeah, he said if it doesnt work out that he'll probably go to kickstarter. http://matt3o.com/the-whitefox-shall-run/
What didn't you like about it? I've seen so much positive feedback from it so im curious to hear your opinion (which could sway me towards this drop :))

Pragan21It's a fantastic keyboard but I couldn't get over the keycaps with their inconsistent thickness, legends not being aligned, marks on the aluminum casing, etc. I was hyper critical as it was my first time spending 220.xx on a single board and I expected perfection. Here's a shot at full brightness, sorry for potato cam. So I, along with many others, basically waited seven months. I know a lot of people were very happy with it but not me. It sold almost immediately after I posted it on CL, the guy drove a good hour and a half to two hours to pick it up.
As for the Varmilo VA87M, I have 0 experience with it. If you're looking for a TKL in this price range I'd also consider the Leopold FC750R if you don't need backlighting and the floating keys.
After over 15 boards in the last five years I've settled on the following: 2 x Leopold FC660M MX Brown (daily drivers at home and at work) 1 x WASD v2 TKL MX Brown 1 x WASD v2 TKL MX Clear (won $100 gift cert from their twitch stream) 1 x CODE 104-key MX Clear

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".
