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".

I had the pleasure of working very closely with Melissa during the initial creation of Jukebox SA, and must say I was immediately surprised at the level of personal attention that I received in the numerous emails that were exchanged during the process. Initially I had assumed that Signature Plastics was a massive organization based somewhere overseas, and that I had just gotten lucky with my customer support contact. Little did I know that I was actually working with a small family business based within the US.
With the enthusiast keyboard community growing at such an exponential rate, I thought it would be great to get the general public and enthusiast community a bit of a glimpse inside of a company that really goes out of their way to provide great products for us.
1. How long has Signature Plastics been in business?
2. How long have the profiles we all know and love (SA, DSA, DCS) been in production?
3. Tell us a little about Signature Plastics.
4. Have you ever produced other profile keycaps or have plans for any new profiles in the future?
5. What is your personal keyboard, and what keycaps do you have on it?
6. Let's say you just got a big order for a new keycap set from Massdrop. This includes a few custom novelties, sculpted profile double shots. What is the process like for you guys from the time you receive the order to when you ship them out?
7. Do you ever see an order for a set come through that you really must have for yourself?
8. Ever since Massdrop started running sets you produce on a somewhat regular basis, how has business changed for you, it at all?
9. A lot has changed in the past few years for you. I know you've added the G20 profile and very recently ICE Caps (PBT SA Caps), along with completely revamping the PimpMyKeyboard.com website and group buy/interest check systems. Is there anything else you have planned for the future?
EDIT 10/15/16 - Response from Bob of Signature Plastics After asking a few more questions I received this information from Bob of Signature Plastics in regards to some of the quality issues that have happened in the past and what some of their other clients are:
Thanks Bob for taking the time to reply to us!
Thanks to Melissa and Bob at SP for taking the time to answer all of my questions, and thanks to the MD team (Kunal, Alex, Yanbo) for supporting the mechanical keyboard community as much as they do! Also thanks to all the people active of the discussions here, this has been such a great positive place to hang out right out of the gate!
