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".

Camera setup is the same as last time (see my older comment down a bit), but this time I used an LED ring light and also an X-Rite ColorChecker Passport, which means the colors are 99% accurate and pretty much as close to perfection as possible.
Sure, their lighting is a bit different as well, since it seems they used some sort of photo box which I don't have, but still... it doesn't explain where all the shades of blue, all the amazing color gradients and all the details are coming from that are almost completely missing from my keycap.
It's like their keycap is a full-fledged winter wonderland out of a Hollywood production with all the state-of-the-art special effects, and my keycap is a B-movie production made by students that had no access to special effects and have had to cut down costs on lighting as well.
It is okay to show the actual product and sell a keycap at this quality, but not when the actual product is nothing like the illustrated.
I actually don't quite understand how some people even call them "perfect". Not a single cap that was posted here was even close to the one from the product pictures. You can also see that the edges are much sharper, less rounded and polished than the one cap on the drop page, so clearly that one single keycap has received lots of love and care and attention to detail. All the others seem rushed.
I also bought all the different 4 Seasons Artisan keycaps from BKD as well. I'm scared these will turn out to be just as underwhelming as Mt. Fuji is. I hope I'm wrong...
