Title: Recently Keycap Storage box
Post by: quake4mhg on Sat, 09 November 2013, 16:59:16

I get them from an Asian dollar store. They're plastic storage tray in the fridge.
Put package sheet to prevent caps move around.

Tightly fit a 104 set. If few square inches bigger would be better.

Not really flips over when tilt

Great for frequency switch caps, save time to flip each cap around each time  ;D

Huh, that's pretty cool! I like how the caps dont get messed up if you tip them and you can stack them. Can you tell us exactly where you got them? Maybe like a Daiso?

You know, I have been looking for the best way to store my key caps instead of just the ziplock bags. There are a few post about people buying storage from those $1 or $2 dollar shop like Daisho. I am still looking for one which is stackable and easy to access for the full set of keyboards. But for novelty caps, I needed a smaller space and today I found the best and cheapest storage - the clear plastic boxes that came with business cards. And so I present to you, a easy-to-find novelty caps storage box:

Hmm, I could put a card and then put another 15 key caps. With 3 boxes I can store a TKL set.
