Yeah that makes sense. I should probably look into some designers. Actually I visited Geekhack once, but I just thought "surely nobody uses this old website", but thanks for the clarification. Will bookmark that website.

You'll obviously struggle with finding open group buys if you don't know where to look for them. It also doesn't help that lost of keyboard group buys are very limited in time and quantity.

Geekhack is where most keyboard and keycap interest checks (IC) and group buys (GB) are announced. It's an ugly old forum but it's the preferred hobbyist place for posting and keeping up with upcoming projects. This is the best place to keep yourself informed about all kinds of projects.

There's also a good amount of projects that are announced solely on the designer's Discord server, this is more common for keyboards than it is for keycaps. Figure out which designers you like and join their Discord servers.

Update - so I believe the issue is with the number row and something is wrong with the PCB. If I use per key and set the qwerty row on it's own I can get whatever color I want out of it. It's only once I try to involve the number row it becomes... wonky. It's as if the number row is interacting poorly with the row below it and causing the messed up colors. It's a shame but I guess I'm just going to deal with it.

Me too, I already tried everything I can think of including the suggestion below of manually updating the firmware and I'm getting nowhere. If nothing works I'm just not gonna use RGB anymore I guess. I'm not sending this thing in it's got so much work done to it that I don't feel like redoing
