Hi there guys,
I was curious as I ran into an interesting issue: My new PBT keycaps (blank) from WASD keys came in but they accidentally all got mixed up into one bag and I have a new board coming in I want to use them on. My question is, is there any easy way to identify the height of the keycaps to match up with my new board (sort them)?

Have you checked if there's tiny r and a number after it underneath the key?

Yep, WASD generally do that under all their caps. Then refer to this chart (http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/resources/keycap-layout) to place them on your board.
Failing that, just line them up on your desk and match them up. :p

I tried lining them up and needless to say it was hard, very hard so many keycaps look way too similar in height, depth and width. I pray to God they identify the rows on the bottom of the caps, I'll check when I get off work later. Thanks for the advice!

Apparently this is one of the joys of running a GB.
