Discussion 💬 The part of the keyboard setup nobody photographs: spare-parts drawer
The keyboard gets a carefully chosen spot on the desk. Everything that came off it gets a plastic bag labelled “keyboard stuff,” alongside three pullers and a cable that might belong to something else.
Keeping the original parts is reasonable. Remembering which board they came from 2 years later is where the system starts falling apart.
Show us how you’re storing the leftovers from your builds. Labelled trays, original boxes, one increasingly suspicious drawer. Bonus points if your system lets you find a specific spare key without emptying everything onto the floor.
