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".

keycode number = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
The keycode number is the geographical location of the button. The numbers represent the 4 layouts (groups) available. Each group has two levels, the first one is accessed by pressing the button and the second by pressing shift plus the button. You can either navigate through the four groups or access them with a modifier key. This is the case of altgr, which in the xmodmap system is named as ISO_Level3_Shift. Therefore, a fresh linux install will use only two groups, 1 2, and 5 6. This means that 1 is when you press a key normally, 2 the shift + the key, 5 altgr + the key, and 6 shift + altgr + the key. The second group, 3 4, you can access by pressing a new modifier that you have to remap called Mode_switch. The fourth group is kinda useless and I don't know how to access by a modifier key nor even if that modifier key exists. For instance, this are some lines in my custom xmodmap file:
keycode 30 = u U BackSpace NoSymbol downarrow uparrow downarrow keycode 31 = i I Escape NoSymbol rightarrow idotless rightarrow keycode 32 = o O Return keycode 43 = h H Left keycode 44 = j J Down keycode 45 = k K Up keycode 46 = l L Right keycode 54 = c C Caps_Lock keycode 57 = n N Tab ISO_Left_Tab endash
I remap Mode_switch to caps lock location, Super_L (Win key) to tab in order to navigate trough the tiling window manager which I use, and control_L to shift_L. To navigate through the four groups is necessary to remap this four keys: ISO_Next_Group, ISO_Prev_Group, ISO_Last_Group, ISO_First_Group.
With these modifications I already use my tenkeyless keyboard as a 40% one. By the way, sorry for my pretty bad English skills.
I do wish they stopped putting in those dumb windows keys though.
