Interesting...I do the same thing with beer bottle caps. (I like beer more than keyboards)

I do bottle caps too. I have around 300 of them, all different from all over the world. If I did a full set of keycaps I would be too insistent they stayed in the proper arrangement. Doing it in a non destructive way could be cool for unused novelty caps though. Keeping them out would be better than putting them in a baggie or box.

I'm thinking about doing it with glue stick gun and those button size magnets.
