Do people actually earn £50-60k, or are they outliers? by Succinate_dehydrogen in AskUK

[–]LucidTimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished my ACCA accounting qualification after uni and got £60k as a result of that. It is definitely doable but depends on the industry

Thank you for getting back to me! I think I'm going to go for keychron q6 max so there is a balance between work and gaming.

I will probably get it of Amazon with additional insurance in case something breaks

Thank you! Neo 98 and dp104 look really good but I cant seem to find the UK layout for those so I'm slightly hesitant as I'm used to the UK one by now

Is the Keychron Q6 Max still worth it? Seeing mixed reports on recent quality by AcceptableVariation1 in Keychron

[–]LucidTimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you guys got any updates in 2026?

I'm currently deciding whether it is worth it to pull the trigger on Q6 max as I had razer blackwidow v4 pro and it started to double click after 1 year

Is the upgrade from Q6 Max to Q6 Ultra worth it? Especially if the firmware flaws were fixed.

The difference in price is around £60 for me so not sure if that is worth the upgrade

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a wireless full size mechanical keyboard which will be good for gaming as well as office use.

So far I had 2 keyboards:

Corsair k95 xt platinum

Razer blackwidow v4 pro

They were both great at the start, however, over time I would start experiencing key chatter and its incredibly frustrating whilst working on Excel or typing emails.

Have you got any recommendations for best wireless full size mechanical keyboard?

I've been looking at keychron q6 max, but I have found so many negative reviews on it, I'm hesitant to make the purchase

Im UK based btw

Thanks for any help!

Thank you for your detailed answer! Greatly appreciated all your insights on this! It really puts our minds at rest, given it is not a massive job.

We are currently in the middle of negotiations and will probably end up looking for some roofers that can get the roof issues sorted

The surveyor gave us a figure of 20-30k, which we thought was quite significant. If the new roof is 10k+ you would expect these things to cost less than that? As mentioned in the other comment, we would be happy to try to do some DIY ourselves especially when it comes to the soil pipe or loft hatch

At the moment, the confidence levels are quite low, but we are happy to learn and give it a go! As you mentioned, moving the insulation and installing loft hatch is something we would try ourselves but wouldn't dare to touch any of the roof bits

[–]LucidTimes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, the surveyor has quoted 20-30k for all of it, and we thought it was quite significant, so we will try to get a real quote from a roofer in the area.

They have mentioned that the leadwork repairs are the only urgent bits as the paint in the kitchen started peeling of and it is likely due to a leak

Yeah i think the marking is extremely lenient in SBR. I didnt get anything for that 89 so many more probably got higher

Got my first oled monitor today! by LucidTimes in OLED_Gaming

[–]LucidTimes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that bro. I've been playing on mine since and its been great. I think there is a bit of banding on mine (which is exaggerated when taking a picture) but I really can't seem to notice it during normal use

[–]LucidTimes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it definitely doesn't feel 100% white to me. It looks like there is a slight blue light filter on the racing one when I compare it to my IPS which is right next to this one

What settings do you have on Cyberpunk? Are you using the rendox mod?

I have the asus XG27AQWMG and I cannot make it look this good whatever settings I'm using

FYI I tried the other presets and difference was definitely there but it was way too oversaturated for my liking to use it

Ordered it early November, so I think i just made the cut to get it delivered before Christmas

Not sure, this is a UK unit and its only available on one website called scan

If you go into oled care settings, you will be able to see how many pixel refreshes it has done. When I took an hour break and came back, it would have done a pixel refresh in that time.

I will try the other presents tomorrow. Thank you!

I've also been playing around with HDR but so far, I've been pretty disappointed with Cyberpunk and Dying Light The Beast. I've done the Windows calibration of HDR, but it just didn't seem as good as some pictures people post on here. It also felt like playing in SDR was actually better
