Evangs,
When your board drops do you know how many units will be available? Or is that something you can't say at this point?
Thanks!

cbalcom03I don't think it will be capped. Massdrop will be doing the fulfillment so it will be dependent on them rather than me. Thanks for your interest!

Great little video evangs. Also really appreciate the non edited version with the little hiccups in between. That really helps others especially their first time doing it. I mean your video can be used for a board as simple and inexpensive as the Mini Van or as expensive as the Ve.A. Great job!

Found this on reddit. Great video. I feel a lot better about taking on this project now. And waiting with anticipation for the programing vid. Oh and the drop of course.
Thanks!

cbalcom03Glad it helped ease your mind! It really isn't too bad. I used a fine point iron from Home Depot and I'm not an amazing solderer. So if I can do it, pretty much anyone can. I didn't use flux paste in the video but if you put a little dab on each pin before soldering it makes it even easier to get good flow.

cbalcom03Totally agreed. This has been one of the best drops ever! I've not put together a custom yet (starting on a kb45p on Deskthority, but as I'm having to source things and solder the board, it's going slower than I expected), but this seems like it should be an easier process than that one.

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".
