[ArchDill]

To hopefully receive everything I ordered in 2017

To not spend thousands of dollars on keyboard stuff...

[ykilroy]

graudate by finishing my wish list

[loud_asian]

To whittle down collection to 3 boards

[Doluded]

Buy a custom MX board, build an artisan collection I'm settled with, and try BKE domes.

[rioc]

To never spend 2500 bucks in one month on keyboards every again as I just did

edit: it got a bit more... I'm ashamed

[alienman82]

[SBJ]

Phew, I don't even know. It would depend on what is coming out in 2018
I could easily say I'd be done buying by that point but I don't think that's true.

This thread is actually becoming relevant now that it'll be 2018 in four weeks.

oO Back to the Future

[zslane]

1. Get dark blue Norbauer aluminum case for my last NovaTouch. Awaiting powder coating.
2. Design a killer Mercury Rocketeer group buy bundle for MassDrop. In progress.
3. Wait for the following keycap sets to be made/delivered:
    A. Round 6 phase 2 (Honeywell colors) - Being packed by 7bit as we speak.
    B. /dev/tty - Currently in production.
    C. SA Carbon
    D. SA Oblivion
    E. DSA PuLSE

[hineybush]

• Sell some nice G80 PCBs
• R&D and implement the ATXMEGA32a4u for QMK
• Make a G80 pcb with said controller
• Make an FC980M pcb with said controller
• Design some cases for Cartel
• Buy things once I have a real job

(lmao)

by the way, the only fidget spinner I bought is RAMA's

[OfTheWild]

1. Build a display/storage solution for keyboards.
2. Complete all keyboard projects/builds.
3. No keyboard or key set group buys.
4. Reduce number of keyboards.

[Zobeid Zuma]

For 2018:

• Finally receive the Model F77.
• Finally receive the WhiteFox.
• Build a couple of Banana Split 60s with my Zo64 layout.
• Build a keyboard (possibly TKL) with Kailh BOX Navy switches.
• Build a new PC to run Ubuntu MATE.  (My first complete computer build, in fact.)

And finally…   Attempt to build this: 

http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/b367774ecc015735a691aa8ad17d5900

[Parva Ovis]

• Swap out my Core's pcb for a QMK pcb once the Atom47 comes out.
• Get some tactile switches for my XD75re and swap out the MX Whites.
• Buy a budget minivan if/when those get released.
• Buy a Planck Light from somewhere other than Massdrop.
• Buy or make a wireless numpad.
• Receive my SA Oblivion, XDA Godspeed, and GMK Mondrian orders.
• Sell off my DSA Borealis once I get another DSA set; hopefully DSA Drifter or Discovery.
• Finally assemble my 5x6 gamepad.
• Finish my giant switch tester.
• Make a nice display for my keycaps, keyboards, and my giant switch tester.
• Not join 7 keycap groupbuys in a year again.

[nguyenhimself]

Now that I am completely smitten with BKE Redux domes for Topre, all other tactile MX-stemmed switches seem flimsy and lackluster to me. And so:

- Get a black Plum75 (LOVE its layout and Bluetooth feature).
- Swapped in BKE Redux domes.
- Get GMK Burgundy R2 for the Plum75.
- Sell my current 67g Zealios FC660M.
- Use the Plum75 as my travel board.
- MAYBE get a Norbaforce case for my Realforce. Or commission someone to make one for me (I know a guy 🙂 ).

The YAS62 PCB and KBDFans case can get you very close to that layout.[/list]

[Duckyreddy]

Plans for 2018:

1. Receive long waited keyset
2. Order the HHKB and begin to mod.
3. Make a custom wrist rest for it with some spare materials
4. Make a keyboard storage solution, will take some time to design and finalise as I have little space but I have 6 weeks of school off!
5. Op-shop hunting
6. Stop spending money
7. Focus on school

[loud_asian]

1. Finish up my endgame Topre board: 10th anniversary silent 87u w/ hangul legends and light BKE domes
2. Finish up my foray into Alps: Build up a SKCL Green AEK64, get rid of leftover alps switches/caps/cases/boards
3. Finally receive and build up my Dolphin and 2 Miras
4. Slim down keyboard collection. I'll have about 15 keyboards when everything comes in. If I could cut it in half and have 7 or 8, that'd be the sweet spot for me.
5. Get back into making caps. I kinda just gave up cause I got busy with school, hopefully I'll be able to have more time for it

[OmegaSupreme]

Plans for 2018:

- Build both Dolphin V2 boards.
      * All Black dolphin w/ GMK Fishbed
      * Grey top/silver bottom w/ GMK 9009     R2

- Order TX 1800 (Black)
      * w/ GMK Burgundy, Terminal or Honeywell.

- Order ION board and ION Pad (White, Hopefully)
 * Saving this for GMK Godspeed if hat ever happens.

- Stop buying new boards!

- Receive GMK 9009 R2

- GMK Terminal R2

- GMK Fishbed

-GMK Camping

- GMK Burgandy R2

- GMK Godspeed (god I hope this happens...)

- Stop buying key sets! (but if GMK hyperfuse and/or Honeywell get run again, I’m making an exception)

[fatpolomanjr]

-Either decide on One Final Keyset for my planck or get enough plancks for the keysets I currently have or will be getting. It's between XDA Canvas, GMK Laser, and SA Oblivion. They're all such beautiful sets. I'm probably just going to build more plancks. The solution to every problem is always more plancks.

-Settle on an office keyboard. Planck, Let's Split, Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, Two Plancks, or a 65%. I think the answer is obviously options 1 and 4. Three plancks baby.

[Puddsy]

- Stop buying key sets! (but if GMK hyperfuse and/or Honeywell get run again, I’m making an exception)

keep an eye on oco

Wait, I heard bunny say that gyperfuse might get listed but did you hear anything about honeywell as well???

[nickaster1]

Get on the iGK64 GB, get Zealios 67g and Mod-M at the same time, pay a few hundred bucks on keycaps, and make my own 60% is wood case

[Lansky]

My current goal for 2018 would be to "complete" my RF 88UB.

Norbaforce tactical black case, BKE Heavy domes, lubed and Hypersphere'd.

Oh, and if someone happens to make some Topre to MX sliders that are on par with the stock sliders, I'd also be all over that. 

[mech0nly]

AEK & SGI-based custom alps builds!

[_rubik]

Achieve end game  ... Like that'll ever happen.

My list is probably...

• Get my hands on a decent alu wkl tkl board
• Handwire my first board
• Build a macropad (may combine this with the one above)
• Hit 1000 posts on GH
• 3D print a home for my budding switch collection... and buy more of course.

[Puddsy]

Get my hands on a decent alu wkl tkl board

mech27 has slots available :eyes:

Don't temp me dammit. After Yuri, Laser, an SSK, and AEK64 my wallet can't handle any more right now. Hence, plans for 2018..... LATE 2018. I'll probably wait out for Keycult No. 2 TKL.

Geekhack layaway should really be a thing. @Hoff... I'm pretty sure you could turn profit off GH by running a loan operation.

[DaBubbs]

1) Put my RF purple silent sliders into my two 55g 87u's and my RF 23u.
2) Mod the left control of the 87u's to make them silent.
3) Make my RF 23u 55g.
4) Try some of the BKE Redux domes.

[ojrask]

1. Receive GMK Laser, SA Carbon, MT3 /dev/tty, and Pearl40% with no issues
2. Finally start on my G81-to-G80/handwire mod project
3. Build one or two new keyboards otherwise
4. Host more Finland/Helsinki MKB meetups (one held this year and next one planned already!)
5. Try not to spend too much on keyboard stuff, went a little overboard a few times in 2017.

[Signature]

Sell it all

[mogo]

Buy:

• Rebuild/update my brother's Model M birthday board and give it to him on his birthday in April.
• Get a hold of a decent G80-1800...
  
  • to be rebuilt with Box Oranges
  • and DCS Sanctuary (PM me if you're selling!)
• Get a Vortex Vibe

Sell:

• Repackage all my unused sets, novelties, and crap bag stuff and sell them
• Repair an RGB LED on a cheap 68-key board and sell it off
• Get a replacement top shell for my Kinesis and sell it.

[merlin64]

1. I'd like to finally learn more CAD and design this keyboard case I've had in my mind for the longest time
2. Design my first keyset and maybe push it to GB
3. Make a silent Zealios build for work!
4. Go to more meetups and meet more cool people

[zslane]

1. Get dark blue Norbauer aluminum case for my last NovaTouch. Awaiting powder coating.
2. Design a killer Mercury Rocketeer group buy bundle for MassDrop. In progress.
3. Wait for the following keycap sets to be made/delivered:
    A. Round 6 phase 2 (Honeywell colors) - Being packed by 7bit as we speak.
    B. /dev/tty - Currently in production.
    C. SA Carbon
    D. SA Oblivion
    E. DSA PuLSE
4. Paint the top case frame of my "Honeywell" Topre RealForce RGB board white.
5. Paint one Plum numpad dark blue and another one dark gray (these are to be paired with the NovaTouches).

Some of these goals are rollover goals from 2017.

[klennkellon]

I would like to start using more full sized keyboards so that I can buy more vintage keyboards to use.

[[Lewynlight]]

Update from mid-november. man, so much things happened in this short time that it is worth enough to update.. 

Still got my ve.a. this will be in my possesion for a long time.

I sold my ve.a. using TGR Jane CE + TGR 910 poly, and waiting for 910 alu.

keycaps;

Got RA. Oblivion and Nautilus is still on the way.. hyperfuse still nowhere to be found

. no changes.  but I've decided to sell all of them once they arrived and keeping RA only.

didn't continue my filco phantom. rt80 is out for a while for some body repair. em7 still on the way (great GB so far /s  )

no changes. still on the waiting game.

hah. as i got my 910 already there's no need for another 60-65%. but i might join SKBXX for the giggles tho. that case is cool.

SKBXX too expensive for me. got a second 910 coming as well.

Switches;
no more silent shawarma. tealios already goes into 910 and it feels amazing. gatistotle already completed but i don't have any place to put in on  ) . vintage and zeal stem also in same condition as gatistole.

sold gatistotle. and i have too much spring in stock.. 68g taobao, 67g taobao, 62g, stock gateron blue spring, sprit 65s, sprit 68s, kin aconical spring... the list goes on and on. also i think i have too much lube incoming.. 103, 105, 205, ro59..

other projects;
should start learning solidworks for my lilly..

in progress. 2018 will be so exciting.

pretty much i'm gonna be so finished for keyboards at 2017. maybe not gonna stop at keycaps, but pretty much for the keyboard. still on the game. retiring is a myth.

in the verge of retiring, but i'd probably buy things again, so yeah )


Also, added for 2018:

- Sanctuary PBT keycaps GB, if approved by TS at IC thread.
