First of all, reason why they could say compatible and you would find it not working out is because not everyone uses the same key layout as you would, so while it might be compatible with a certain set of layouts on that row, it might not with others. Second of all, you dont need to… “zoom in” it usually lists the actual row on the side of the picture with the keycaps, if you care enough to make sure if it fits the keys and rows that you prefer, it would take you 10 seconds maxed to skim through it (might I add, un-zoomed photo is clear enough unless you are using a brick)

P/S: “I don’t have them much time to waste”… oh mate your comment says otherwise xD

So, while Powertoys helped with the Pgup, Pgdn, and Home keys, it couldn't swap my Ctrl Right key for Alt Right, for some reason, preventing me to type € or @ on ITA layout. I ended up using Sharpkeys to solve that. So I would say it is a more powerful software. Just sharing it in case someone needs it.

So I ended up solving the issue for both the special keys on the right and the inability to type € using Sharpkeys. Essentially, I was missing the Alt Right key, preventing me to type € and even @ for how the ITA layout works. I changed the Ctrl Right for Alt Right and I was good to go. Powertoys software didn't allow me to do so, and VIA does not support my keyboard at all.

Pgup, Pgdn, and Home were remapped as well. I will look for artisans' or blank keycaps for those, though, since the Pgup key is the same height as the RGB control key, and it's a punch in the eye to look at, personally.

Thanks to all who actually tried to help me. But I will avoid seeking help on this subreddit next time. Maybe it was my fault for the title I chose, but too many smartasses misunderstood my post.

Box jades are a little bit too stiff for me. I use box clear jade (even stiffer) and box clear navy for my function row. But box clear pinks are perfect for everything else.

I used to hate box jades but my wife wanted a keyboard with box jades cause she loved the click and tactility. so I would often swap keyboards around including hers to use on the daily.

​

But damn box jades are so good with rhythm games like Osu

For my Q6 I used poron foam I got from KBDfans for the KBD8x case (bought 2x and cut them), and I think it made a significant difference VS my Q5.

Silicone pour seem like an interesting mod tbat theoretically makes sense. Is there any give to this silicone? Are you concerned about the PCB being squished a bit? Very interested in your results!
