I think there should be an option to change the keyboard layout to the one that is used on your country because, for example, I can’t type the letter “ñ” if I have to.

Shiro_Pefor that reason I use US INT'L with dead keys. ñ is right ALT + n. I can also type any other special char like German umlauts or Greek letters like ð. This obviously works only for US keyboards but all other drive me crazy anyways (I'm located in Germany, so the US layout drives co-workers crazy when they have to type something with special chars on my computer. You can create that option on your own by using a layer for a layout - unless the other layout uses more keys

briefboteThank you for your reply, I’m trying to find a tutorial on how to do it but I can’t find any of how to add a letter that isn’t on the keyboard layout.

Shiro_PeYou can use the EurKey Keyboard Layout for Windows. That way you have most of the European special characters under AltGr. It takes a little while to get used to, but I started using it when I bought my first ANSI layout keyboard and I never looked back. They also have keyboard layouts for Mac and Linux as well.

Shiro_PeFor that matter there's also the nifty Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22339 With it you create executable installers for custom layouts. I have created a "German Programmers" layout which is just basic qwerty but AltGr + a = ä, AltGr + s = ß, AltGr + u = ü, etc. Under OS X the equivalent is called Ukelele http://software.sil.org/ukelele/ and on Linux one can simply edit the files like I describe here: https://github.com/foxx1337/dp

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".
