Hello! I’m new in the mechanical keyboard universe. I’ve bought some switches for my (very first) mechanical keyboard, and I have some keycap pullers. I also plan to buy a pencil to easily clean my keyboard.
For storing such tools and items, I plan to buy some ziploc bags and segregate the switches, pencil and keycap pullers, and store them all inside a plastic container.
I’m wondering… How do you guys keep all these mechanical keyboard-related items? I’ll be happy to read new ideas.
My office has a “workshop” side with three cube-farm desktops salvaged from an office park refurb. Under those, I have 4 cheap drawer units and one matching shelf unit. For now, the boards themselves are on the shelves, and keyboard stuff occupies three drawers. Keycaps stay in their boxes, extras are married into the “nicer” boxes, and it’s all labeled on masking tape. Switches go into old coffee jars that hold 50 switches very easily, also labeled. Empty Keyboard boxes get stashed in one of the less accessible drawers. Keyboards share space with 3D printing, soldering/electronics, office supplies, and my “inside” tools.
