TTheunsTL;DR:
$1273 worth of (cool) keyboard stuff. Only possible because I don't have to pay for anything but my cars, keyboards and pc. Keep your priorities straight.

TTheunsUPDATE:
Just bought 90 MOD-SH switches, 90 Matias Quiet Click switches and an RGB 60% set of DSA Granite for the Matias switches.
Up for next month: MiTo's GMK Laser.
Month after that: GMK Red Samurai, 24K gold stabilizers, 60 MOD-H switches.
After that: A custom 60% plate for the Matias switches, a plate for my Miami Dolch build, an AMJ40 carbon fibre kit and a few sets of transparant stabilizers.
Then finally I have to get a hold of Halo True switches and a high profile 60% case.
Budgeted about $719 in keyboard stuff for the next few months. I budget everything in USD, and then pretend what I wrote down is in Euros. That way I can trick my mind that I'm not spending as much when the receipts come in.

TTheunsI wanted to buy the pearl but it's out of my price range, building a new Planck instead (not a Planck light although I want that pcb) I'm nodding some switches and putting 150 gram guys in there.

TheSkeletonIf I didn't get the $131 back from the XD60 kit (wrong plate, twice) I would have just bought Laser and not have the money for the Pearl, so I got lucky.
I still haven't finished my own Planck, but I do want the Plank Light. I'm waiting for Jack to stock them on his site, since I'm done buying from Massdrop for a while.

TheSkeletonOhh, I didn't even know that. I thought you mixed up two conversations.
That being said, what parts are you going for on your new Planck? (I'm tempted to buy a Easy On The Wallet Planck kit at some point.)

TTheunsI have a old R3 planck (the really shitty ones) so im going to see if I can get a hand mirror finish on the case and im gonna have to desolder the top plate from the broken PCB and maybe try to save the switches (im going really budget here) then im going to mod some MX grey and mod SHs and put 150g springs in. Im going for a silly build.

TheSkeletonMirror finish, recycled used switches, broken PCBs and modded switches with insane springs.
Sounds like an epic custom to me ;).
But seriously, it sounds like a really cool plan. Do you have a spare PCB or are you handwiring it?
EDIT: Those in the picture are the EOTW version, I really like the gold stuff, it's just tacky enough to be tasteful-ish. Now should it have Blacks or Speed Golds?

TTheunsnope mod SHs for the alphas and greys for the modifiers, although yeah blacks and gold would look better with it, but I care more about feel then look.

TTheunsjust realized that if I were to get rid of the anodized finish I would basically have no aluminum left so I just spray painted if, still going to have decide between the EOTW or the metal hmm.

Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?
Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

I'm pleasantly surprised it only got up to $1273. Converting this back to my own currency makes this look a bit better (Converted with current exchange rates). €1138,-. Still a lot of money. Still worth it. Since I'm not based in the US, a portion of that money is in shipping costs. All shipping for everything together amounts up to $195, or €174. Over 30% of that is just Signature Plastics (please fix that).
Some background info on me: I'm 18 years old, took a break from school, and have worked full-time for just over a year now. I live with my parents at no costs, am a major gearhead and like working on my own stuff.
I started this hobby when I built my first PC. First the Ducky, then about 11 months later came the blank keycap set. That kicked off the custom part of this. At the end of the year I took the next step, a second keyboard. Then I convinced myself that needed a custom set, and Canvas just happened to pop up a few months later (Jan 2017). Since then the Planck dropped, just as I was piecing it together from various sources, that needed keycaps, so I went with SA, as I wanted to try it. Since the shipping would amount to $43 I figured I'd throw in as much as I wanted. Then DSA Granite redropped and I figured I'd give my TKL an upgrade (March 2017). When may rolled around I fell madly in love with Miami Dolch DSA, so much so that I bought the simultaneously dropping XD60 kit for it. It needed a different colour plate though. Finally I thought It'd be nice to show the world my love for the Mechanical Keyboard, so I bought the keychain. There you go, my entire MK life. Some regrets: Not buying SA Dasher/Dancer, not being there for SA Nuclear Data.
I'll leave the future out of this, because I'd easily be able to double the numbers, and I'm not ready to accept that yet ;).
P.S. The Vortex Core and DSA HC Granite are looking pretty good, though...
P.S.S. Just kidding, I've got two cars that need repairs. Spending a lot of money on hobbies is fun, but make sure you keep your priorities straight.
