Hello
As my collection is growing, i wonder how can i manage my keycaps in a more efficient way.
They are either in plastic bags or on keyboards, and i haven't got as many keyboards as keycaps sets (what a shame )
I like to mix some sets of mine on the same keyboard. and sometimes it's quite a mess.
I've heard some talking about double tape scotch, will it stay sticky so long ?
Thanks for your ideas

It should be obvious:
I send a message to 7bit_R4 to order all key caps I want!
Here is where I put the layout graphics for key caps I want:

Here is where I put the prices I'm willing to pay for my key caps:

But 7bit, do you sort them on a tray or some piece of cardboard for easy picking? I thought you just send bags.
Regularly switching between keycaps is hard when you've got to play "go fish" every time you do it.

I store them in paper bags, so I must open them and look ibside to see what is in there. Also, I don't write any notes on them so I've got to search through all of them to find something.
On the other hand, I don't have many orphaned keycap sets stored, except for my Round 3 leftovers.

Ive considered doing that and came to the conclusion its a hassle and not worth it. Im currently using a system of zip lock bags in cardboard boxes in larger cardboard boxes in my shelf.

Indeed
I made a common mistake french/english. I didn't understand your answer at first (Some kind of 7bit Humour).
Thanks for your answers. One of the best way to STORE them, for me, would be some kind of cardboard sheet with double side scotch.
I'll test that one asap.
