This vs. the pok3r?

AmeerIf this thing lives up to all of its promises, it blows the Pok3r out of the water, no questions. More switch types. More programmability. Possibly a better plate (switch top removal without desoldering; and if a true GH60-like plate, will also support other layouts the Pok3r plate wouldn't). Better stock caps (if you choose the Dye Subs and the Dye Subs given are the Purple on White ones shown; all of this assumes the shown ones are nice thick Vortex PBT with either IMSTO or Vortex dyed Cherry Legends). Cheaper price. Still compatible with all cases/accessories the Pok3r would be compatible with. And uses a more standard controller, so you should be able to flash TMK onto the AtMega just fine. Plus, a better name. I always thought the 3 in Pok3r made the name really corny and kinda sucked...
All of that said, there are still too many questions unanswered to really say though. It should also be obvious why so many people find this buy hard to believe/too good to be true.
To put it another way, if this thing does everything it says it does, I will be getting this over a ~$250 Korean custom 60%, which would be hand-built and built fully up to the specs I choose. Why? Because the end result would be almost the **exact same**.
PLEASE ANSWER MD!!!!!!! THIS COULD REALLY SHAKE UP THE 60% WORLD!!!

hjc1710Agreed! I've been leaning towards the Pok3r, but if this is as programmable as I'm reading, then I'm sold. Particularly if, like the GH-60, the plate and PCB allow for some layout changes. Personally, I'd love a split r-shift and split backspace.

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".
