Well I fell down the custom keyboard world.

I just remembered what time of year it is and if my KB is going to receive a decent discount in the next few weeks. Dumb question but if you buy any barebones and equip it with those Gateron HE switches, does that make it the same as the Q6? Or not because it has to have something on the PCB oto recognise those type of switches too, actually now I've typed it out that must be it.
I kind of wanted a white one (so I'm not 1:1 copying mrk :D )but doesn't seem to exist in ISO layout.

I looked at the Nuphy Field HE one too but got put off by the ugly controls on the left and also I want at least 96% this time, as I had to swap keyboards for certain games.

Sorry what do you mean by 'via'? edit, weren't responding to me :D Is it right I can use pretty much any keycaps I want if they are for 100% keyboards and cherry compatible? I feel there are a few I need to get out my system but I like the look of the shape with the default ones tbh.

Yeah, as long as it's a cherry keycap it'll fit on a regular cherry style switch. It's worth looking at both the switches you're using and the keycaps - you can find things like Topre caps which wouldn't fit on a regular cherry switch.

Majority of stuff available is cherry format though, you have to look for the non-standard.

Good to know thanks, and 'PBT Double-shot' are the ones most people go for in terms of durability?
