A lot of off-the-shelf keyboards offer all that, minus the bluetooth or combo. Take a look at the Varmilo VB87M, it doesn't have RGB LEDs, just single colour. Alternative is the GON NS NerD TKL, but you should approach that with caution.

ViraWhy the caution? I was thinking about building my first board and was looking at that.

RaithmirThe cost of a fully assembled NerD TKL is $475 USD, according to the GON website. That's very, very expensive, even for an enthusiast-oriented product that appeals to a niche market. The board doesn't come with its own keycaps, so the cost quickly stacks up. If you're absolutely sure it's what you want, it's perfectly okay to buy one, but it never hurts to think twice before making such a costly purchase.

RaithmirJust adding to Zenix's comment, its not mainly the price, as Gon is putting it together using his own time so he's charging for that; its about his current affairs or problems. He currently has quite a lot of orders he hasn't completed yet ranging from months to a year over and longer. I don't know the reason to it. With current new orders, its not going smoothly either from the feedback I've read from a number of people. Adding to that, his time scale is about 1-2 months to put it together for you if you plan to get any of his built kits. I'm told if you get anything from his site, get them as parts and build it up yourself.

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".
