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".

It seems that this product doesn't quite justify the price in your eyes, which is a completely fair assessment, and in that case, I'd recommend you go with the satan gh60 board. For me, the PCB is expensive, but completely worth it because I'm only going to build so many keyboards, and I really want the most exciting custom components in it. This is the same type of logic that pushed me to purchase the GMK Plum set for my board instead of a, admittedly very nice, $40 PBT Ducky keycap set.
In summary: Different strokes for different folks.
Listen man, maybe I'm still just salty from getting priced out of penumbra r2, but dont tell me that this PCB will make your keyboard any better like upgrading your keycaps would.
If some people are willing to pool resources, group-buy the parts and manage the soldering themselves then yeah, they could probably shave $10-$25 in the end.
