Organising keycaps not currently in use

[damorgue]

I had an idea, don't know if it has been done before and I am just rehashing but here it goes.
You know those fly-papers that is essentially a sticky surface that catches flies, most commonly in farms where it is a bigger problem. There are kinds either on a roll where you pull it out as it gets filled with flies and the kind like a calendar where you rip a page of every now and again. Both of these could be used with some success to just place keys on to make them stick in a certain layout and not scrape against eachother. This is sort of a replacement to adhesive tape for those of you who use that.

My only concern right now before having tried this is that they might be coated with a sweet substance attract flies which might get on the keys more than just the mild adhesive could and perhaps make them smell.

Thoughts?

What I meant was that the technique was shown to work, as post 1 demonstrates there; just the proposed tool itself was open to debate, i.e., is your fly-paper sticky enough to hold he caps in place, and residue-less enough to not leave your caps in a nasty state. Testing will tell.

I will never understand why people store cleaned key caps on something which contains glue (and therefore makes the bottoms of them sticky).

This is how I store them:
