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.

That could actually be a nice solution. Thank you for the suggestion! :)

That is what I immediately found as well, but still tried VIA and it didn't work, of course.

I did at first when I mounted the keycaps, but then I realised the keys did not correspond to one another when using them. So thank you for your invaluable contribution 🙏

Yes I was on wire while using VIA. I read Keychron's guidelines, but I haven't find any JSON file. I'll check that tomorrow. I really need it, because I found out I miss the Alt Gr key, and Powertoys doesn't allow me to add it. And with the ITA layout that means I can't do things such as € and @. Which is very annoying.

I tried, but it's not detected by the software. Powertoys worked though, but that's because it overrides Windows or something like that I guess.

Do you know any such software that works with this keyboard? I read conflicting info about taht when google it.

No, it's in Windows mode. Everything seems to work except that, which is very annoying because I use that symbol very often for work.

You just changed your comment after my reply? Seriously?
Anyway, I have the keycap set box in front of me and there are all the compatible keyboards I mentioned above, included the K6.

There you have it. It says Q1 and K2, but the box illustrates it is actually compatible with K4, K6, K8, and K-12 keyboards.

I checked before buying, and it is stated to be compatible with K6 keyboards.

I should put the RGB button below as well. It's as tall as Pgdn. The problem is that that is their position for the keyboard layout. I wrote a comment describing my overall issues.

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?

Yeah, I only now realise this. But I managed to solve my issues anyway, if you check my other comments. I will probably buy some artisans or blank keycaps to swap the ones not fitting. I don't want to buy another kit because I planned this build specifically around it. ITA ISO sets are very rare, and finding a good one with pleasant colours is quite the hassle.
