Did anyone figure out how to fix the double tap issue?

am0neyYou can pull the switches and clean the contacts and it will solve the issue temporarily. The real issue is that the buyers are QC for this board.

PigmonkeYIs there a way to permanently fix this issue?

KallenStadtfeld_SCNot that anyone's come up with. Massdrop redesigns the PCB?

PigmonkeYWell that's not reassuring... I love the design of the CTRL. Are there any alternatives utilizing case lighting and the same layout?

KallenStadtfeld_SCPlenty of kit options, nothing I really know of assembled.

PigmonkeYLack of assembly is fine! While I'm less than knowledgeable about custom keyboards, I'm comfortable with assembly and soldering.

KallenStadtfeld_SCYou might start by checking out kbdfans.cn, but you're in a whole new world with DIY boards. Sky is the limit.

PigmonkeYThanks! I believe I ordered a bluetooth setup from them a while back, so I'll take a look at their other stuff :)

KallenStadtfeld_SCYes, look up the Hexgears Gemini, it's yet to be released, though.

sligI saw that, but I'm a little worried about quality from some other stuff I read. Guess I'll have to wait on them to launch.

PigmonkeYThanks, I tried a few things I saw in the comments section and it still persists. I really like the design of the keyboard and love the Halo Clears I got with the board but it happens too ofteen with a few keys. Also not the biggest deal, but I don't have a C key - mine came with two X keys instead. LOL

am0neySounds like the standard massdrop garbage factory product. This was the last Massdrop Made product I will ever buy.

PigmonkeYYep, I filed for a full return (they didn't give me a hard time considering its been a few months which is cool so this must be common?) - never buying anything on massdrop again unless its keycaps or something. I've bought selvedge denim from massdrop and those are shit quality too lol

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".
