Keypop sells boxes that use foam instead of layered cardboard. They kinda suck though. I just use one of those and two boxes that came with my EnjoyPBT sets

I don't think they are too bad, They hold a decent amount of keys and they really stop stuff shifting around.

It's this amazing modular box that you can put different sized inserts in (which are different colours) and they slot into this modular grid in the base, so you don't even have to have all the inserts in for it to not slop around when closed. http://www.sortimo-shop.com.au/t-boxx.html (http://www.sortimo-shop.com.au/t-boxx.html) Think I'm going to pick up another one with purely red inserts to use for keycaps http://www.sortimo-shop.com.au/t-boxx/stb321a.html (http://www.sortimo-shop.com.au/t-boxx/stb321a.html) .

Post by: deduction on Tue, 02 February 2016, 12:48:39: In the past I found it impressively difficult to meaningfully restructure the OSX filesystem layout beyond the /Users space. Now, the popular BSDs on the other hand...

Then again, I haven't used OSX in a long while. Maybe if someone releases a usable tiling window manager for OSX I'll reconsider. :p

Oooops, sorry that I didn't know about that.
I am just curious about whether u guys are interested in those boxes, cuz actually I am selling those boxes in China :p

Your boxes suck.

The keys for my HHKB keep falling out.

they look a lot like the stock topre/hhkb keycap boxes, what's happening with these ones? do they not have a top solid piece of cardboard to keep the keys in place?

They keep falling out and getting mixed up.

If I did that, then I would never see my keycaps, and never think to ever use them... They would just be sitting collecting dust! D:

Get a bead container (http://www.amazon.com/Darice-2025-251-Clear-Container-Storage/dp/B002DPINS6). Double-check the height though, just in case the caps don't fit. I think it should work.

That actually looks really good.

Maybe I should look on my local craigslist for an old suitcase or something and use it to store caps under my bed :P
