You're disappointed that you didn't check the keycaps for row compatibility before buying them?

Gotta make sure you have the right keycaps on the right rows before purchase. You bought one with very basic compatibility.

So, I bought a Wireless Keychron K6 65%, ISO UK layout because it was the only one left available. I am Italian, and I really wanted a new ISO ITA keyboard. For that, I decided to buy an Italian keycap set. Said set is stated to be compatible with K6 keyboards, and yet here are the Pgup and Pgdn keys too tall for the position in which they must be put.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Should I contact Keychron to see if they can solve the issue? Or do you know if it's possible to remap a K6 with some third-party software? A quick research online showed me it is not possible with this specific model. Also, the € symbol doesn't work. I should be able to input it with Alt Gr+E, but it doesn't work, even if I am using ITA layout on Windows.

Could anyone give me any advice?

I actually think you did a great shot here with the exception of one thing: exposure. Break out the tripod, set a timer (so that you can open the shutter without your hands shaking the camera) and do a longer exposure.

Lots of advice here is assuming you dont want the shadows in their current config (I rather like them). Also, opening your aperture would make your DoF too short imo. With still shots like this, long exposures are easy to pull off.
