Haven't encountered it, though I've only ever modded my Q3 this way.

There may be tape where the adhesive is conductive, or that leaves a lot of residue, but with decent masking tape it should be no issue at all.

Forcebreak mod to stop the ping and tape mod to make it sound a bit more lively.

Both mods are super easy to perform. All it requires is a bit of masking tape.

Maybe consider changing switches too. I think the Gateron Pros aren't the best when it comes to sound, at least the Gateron Pro Browns my Q3 came with weren't that great. I replaced them with Baby Kangaroos.

> I would recommend trying hyperglides or any black switch (heavy linear), I think it would fit this theme nicely :)

Nah man, clicky switches all the way on this keyboard. I have box jades on my NCR80, and the way the hollow plastic case and the switches interact sounds fantastically old school.
