my most expensive board would be my k70. buying keyboards here in Singapore will drive you bananas, as there is only one place you can go to for quality boards. i reckon there are over 50 singaporeans here on geekhack (( that are active ofc ))

i paid around 150 usd for it, although it came with a cm mousepad that is foc.

what drove me to buy this keyboard is not the free mousepad, but the features this board offered

a volume wheel, dedicated media keys, backlighting, custom backlit area selection, bios, usb pass through, 1000hz polling.

i thought these were essential features i would use often, and i loved the black body and red led colour scheme. thus, i felt like it was a end game board for me (please don't laugh at me). it was also available in my favourite switch type; reds. this all happened before i chanced upon geekhack and i had no idea that 6.5x spacebars is near impossible to find.
however, what drove me to buy this board is still what keeps me from selling this board away without reluctance.

I only have one keyboard purchase, my Ducky Shine 3. I bought it because of all the different light functions that the Ducky Shine 3 offered. So flashy! :p

Most expensive purchase was my HHKB, le reddit drove me to buy it. It was nice for a while but I eventually sold it.

My Realforce 104-UG. Got it off EK for $290 + S&H before they marked it down, now it sits in it's box in a closet doing nothing all day like a gimp. The reason I bought it is because I finally broke down and was convinced, BY YOU GUYS NONETHELESS, to get a Topre board. In retrospect I should've bought a HHKB Pro 2 Type-S instead. Mistakes were made :(

I think my upcoming Smallfry will be the most expensive I have bought. Looking at roughly $350 to get it running properly.

My most expensive purchase were my QFR Stealths with Cherry MX Reds because I really enjoyed the blank key caps, needed a smaller keyboard, and wanted to test out the red switches. Hopefully in within the next month my most expensive purchase will either be a Poker II or HHKB Pro 2.

Most expensive was my KBT Pure Limited Edition. Especially if you add the cost of the aluminium plate, white LED's, Nostalgia keycaps, Cherry G80 board which I took the Clear sliders from, 62g springs, stickers, etc.... I actually don't want to add it all up. Then there is the time spent on modding it.

I was actually looking for a Poker II with ANSI layout and PBT caps, but could only find ISO ones with ABS caps from all the sources inside EU. Then I spotted the Pure Limited on Amazon.co.uk and researched it a bit. Decided I'd most likely end up getting an aluminium case for the Poker II anyway and I really liked the Fn layer and switchable arrow keys of the Pure. So I snapped it up :) Then proceeded to mod it bit by bit in true GH style.

Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.
