How do you store your switches? (lemmy.world)

As I collect more switches, I’d like a way to store them aside from old tupperware and ziploc bags. Has anyone found a type/brand of container that they’re particularly fond of? Looking for something budget-friendly and able to hold ~100 switches.

I found some decent jars at Big Lots that are great. You can also use jars from things like Jam/Jelly after cleaning them.

Just in the baggie they came in. Never had any issues but I've never tried to make something visually appealing for them either

I use a Plano Rack System tackle box for my keyboard tools and surplus switches. It's perfect.

3" x 5" index card boxes from Walmart for both keycaps and switches. They're stackable and each box will hold 200 switches or a full keycap base kit. It's wide enough that the spacebars can lay flat too.
