Just a suggestion - don't do it this way.

I have tried this approach on many occasions - putting a reference number on each box (bag, packet, network switch port, DVD spindle, audi cassette box, ...) and keeping the list of contents somewhere else (book, database, spreadsheet, printed sheet of paper, hand-written sheet of paper ...) and each time the two become separated or out of date, or the stickers fall off.

I would like to get a hold of a bunch of the kind of holders that come with Cherry KC104

Need winkeyless version though.

Someone really ought to do a group buy and make these really cheap. Like 10 for $20. It's much easier and better than keeping in zip lock bags all jumbled up.

Very limited in what types of sets you can store (ANSI standard is probably most popular, yet hardly comprehensive at all for tsangan sets and additional custom sets).

The specialized cardboard boxes would be really nice as a GB as they have a lot more flexibility.

So, I bought my daughters a set of those crazy rubber bands that girls these days love - they are called Loom bands. And they come in this tiny little 12-tiny compartments that just fits a key cap. I'm not urging my little girl to quickly finish up her loom band so her old man can confiscate the box for his artisan caps! I'm even tempted to buy the loom bands, throw those bands away just to keep the box!

Mostly these boxes that were available a while ago:


The rest is either in zip lock bags or in various Curver plastic boxes.

Nice box. That gave me an idea. We get a lot of packages now a days why not simply use the styrofoam boxes to make such slots and store them? For more protection there is always bubble wrap lying around to keep them safe.

Cutting out the correct slots takes a lot of time. Besides, these are just $10. ;)

They are nice, but there is just too much waste space. A simple plastic bag in a box works.

it's alot easier to doublecheck that you're not missing keys.

and the keys don't scratch each other like they can when they're loose in plastic bags.

I bought a bunch of these when they were $1 each at Homedepot.  Works really well for storing keycaps.
