Keyboard Storage Solutions

Yea I printed this guys files he made for a keycap tray, I havent populated it yet so idk what the max amount it can support it but it seems to be big enough.

Ohh, interesting. Did you mod it at all? Post some pics if you do end up using! :smiley:

Didnt really mod it unless you count slicing it in half so it fit on my printer lolol.

I dont have any experience with the harbor freight version but the only reason I got the pelican case was because of its measurements. I had to fit a giant Rama u80 in there and that determined how deep I needed a case to be. Pelican is top quality but also much more expensive

I moved into a new apartment across the country and built myself a couple cabinets and a desk. Now I can finally unpack and sort my keyboard things. I also have 2 box shelves to put up on the walls.

Still have to unpack my keyboards into the top drawers and print more switch containers. Everything’s still a mess but it’s getting there…

Also, apparently I have 14 GMK sets

I can’t quite tell from the pics, but did you spring for Baltic Birch on the plywood?!??! In this market?!?! :rofl:

Regardless, nice job!

Thanks! Haha yeah, baltic birch mills nicely and has some of the best consistency and strength. It’s not too bad actually, about $111 a sheet locally, but I did use some leftover that I got for $95/sheet.
Small investment compared to the keyboards :sweat_smile:

Very nice storage solution! This is exactly what I need to do, build myself at least 2 big dressers like that. One for caps & parts & another for KBs. My collection is way to big nowadays & has basically spilled all over my hang out room. I do have things organized but it’s mostly in stacks of boxes which isn’t the most aesthetic solution, & they’re starting to take up too much space.

Thanks! I love seeing collection photos too, if you ever do get that sorted!
My stuff was all in uhaul boxes and a big pelican hardigg case and I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Still have so much sorting to do lol I basically just dumped everything into the drawers. Well, most, I still have like 15 boxes of keycaps to figure out. Wondering which sets to keep in original packaging and which to transfer to the 5 pbtfans trays

Could also utilize tool storage boxes. Something like Milwaukee PACKOUTs:




They stack too.

Being a painter & carpenter by trade I have thought about using some of my old toolboxes for KB parts storage. I really need to clean them out good to do that though & keep getting lazy about it. Something like this that I can get multiples of & that stacks is ideal though! Thanks for the heads up!

I totally use something like this for switches… I’ve got enough stacked now that it’s like a big, cube-shaped rain-stick >.>

Between you and @pixelpusher , you could probably open up a museum and showcase your boards and bits.
