First night with the keyboard has been fantastic. No broken LEDs, all Halo Clear switches are working and no dim spots on the lighting. Sure the finish might not look exactly like some of the photos, but it's a gorgeous board nonetheless. I felt like the space bar might be a tad slow to come up, but I think that's just because I've been on Cherry MX blues for a long time. The magnetic risers on the bottom are a great idea that should have been thought out a little better, because they'll fall over if you put enough sideways pressure on the board while shuffling it around on the desk. Otherwise these Halo Clear switches are possibly the best typing experience I've ever head. I think I read in another review that they were velvety smooth, which is absolutely a great description - they're way more premium feeling than anything else I've typed on. I also type real fast and forceful... which means at work I bottom out on almost every keystroke on my boards with Cherry MX blues, and I'm sure the clack of it gets on the nerves of people around me (software dev in a cube area)... but these Halo Clears take the perfect amount of force to actuate without bottoming out, so I think the people around me at work are going to be pretty happy come Monday.
TDLR; Love the keyboard; it's gorgeous. Everything seems to be working. Magnetic risers could be thought out better. Halo Clear switches are like velvet. Very premium and also quiet typing experience. Would recommend.

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".
