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".

Q: What do you do at Massdrop? A: I have worn many hats in my time at Massdrop but the one I currently wear is that of our affiliate marketing manager. I also used to be a buyer for our hobby shop community and I built Massdrop’s first mailroom.
Q: What do you like most about working at Massdrop?
A: Products, products, and more products. I have a few interests including Mech Keys, EDC, and I would call myself the most amateur audiophile out there (woo hoo monks!) and I love that my interests have become my career and I love that I can continue to learn and participate in these communities that most people have never heard of.
Q: How did you get into mech keys?
A: Reddit was where it all began, I think I was on r/battlestations one day and someone did an x-post from r/mechanicalkeyboards. As soon as I found the sub I went face first down the rabbit hole. I ended up weighing pros and cons for my first keyboard for what must have been a month. Towards the end I realized that I had to go with a Pok3r or a Leopold FC660M. A few weeks later my first Massdrop purchase and my first mechanical keyboard hit my doorstep, and I have not looked back since.
Q: What are some of your favorite products in that community?
A: GMK keycap sets, as a lover of all things sneaker I see a lot of parallels between a shoe like the Air Jordan 1, my favorite sneaker, and a Cherry profiled GMK keycap set, my favorite manufacturer and profile. I collect them for the same reason that I collect sneakers, if in 20 years I want to break out the Triumph Adler, or Carbon, I can.
Q: What are some of your other hobbies/interests?
A: Too many to list. I’m a collector of many things, whether it be clothes, sneakers, toys, or keyboards, I have a weird carefully curated collection of whatever it is. Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube is the best game ever made, followed closely by Hearthstone. I also love to make and consume all forms of art and design.
