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".

I'm happy with this set in that they are much easier to read versus the factory white on black backlit keys that came on my non-backlit Ducky One (/w cherry browns). WTF was Ducky thinking? Also I partially blame MechanicalKeyboards for their poor description of my board. I would've just sent the board back but then I would've been out around $40 and not have anything to show for it, due to their return policy. This is my first aftermarket mechanical keyboard and it turns out my extensive research wasn't enough, though I'm thrilled with the switches.
Anyway, I love the orange on black keys, and I wanted the full set like that, but it seems the only way to get it, is order a custom set which would be pad printed ABS, and it wouldn't be a 108 piece set. I'm not paying $50+ for that when I can get doubleshot PBT for the same or less money. It seems my eyes are slowly getting worse, so I like a high contrast keycap set. Ducky has an orange legends One, but they don't sell the keycap set by itself, and no one in America currently has the orange legends Ducky One kb.
My set arrived complete & flawless and the caps are every bit identical to the factory caps. Some of the bottom edges looked a little rough, but once installed, you can't see that, so I didn't bother taking a file to them. I was expecting them to arrive loose in a box, but was surprised to see they were in a thin plastic shell, neatly laid out in proper order. That made changing out the caps very easy.
EDIT: I just found more pictures of the JTK orange on black set, with all the black keys. Damn that's beautiful! Since it's doubleshot, I can live with not having large font and centered legends. I've bookmarked it on zFrontier. Hopefully I can get it next Christmas if not sooner. Thanks again, Jdot.
