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".

It's my understanding that you need
- Case (60% or Full)
- PCB
- Plate (optional - by build)
- Switches (and related stabilizers)
- Keycaps
Is this accurate? Individually, these sets and pieces can be expensive. More expensive than a pre-assembled board.Is it possible/ recommended to buy a pre-assembled board and modify it with different switches to save money?
Backstory:
That said, I saw that the mass drop community had an interest in the Gateron Switches so I committed blindly. I did some research and committed to the plate mount switches, as it seems like they are a good starting point for people who are new to the game and don't want to run the risk of breaking solder joints and their pcb.
I've looked into a couple of how-to's and generally understand the process, but was concerned with the price.
