Mine are just in ziplocks on the floor...

I think I should really set up a shelf or something. :P

At least a box to put the bags in!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

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. Double-check the height though, just in case the caps don't fit. I think it should work.

I found a leather box for projector film storage made by a company in England called Filco. I convert it to store novelty caps.
TOO MANY KEYBOARDS THAT I COULD NOT COUNT! BUT I AM STILL USING MY MODEL F77

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

I keep mine in zip lock bags. Keysets are grouped together. Artisans get their own individual little baggie.
