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'm afraid I'm in the hipster category, because I soldered up my own ergodox from the very first kit being sold here and now use it everywhere as my daily driver as I'm approaching the >100wpm club. This is the only actual reason I appreciate the mech keyboards, if I could do that with regular rubber domes for half the price I'd not hesitate for a moment.
tl;dr: mech keyboards are a meme money-eating hobby: they offer little benefit to the regular folks compared to their price, but nevertheless they feel nice once you type on one.
Nice article though.
