Place the Keycaps Badge Not Awarding
What to check when the Sorted All Keycaps badge does not award in Place the Keycaps after the board appears complete.
Verify the badge and the board separately
The Roblox Badges API lists Sorted All Keycaps with the description "You have sorted every keycap!" That is the first-party completion signal for Place the Keycaps. If it does not award immediately, first verify the board, not the badge page.
Check every visible row for one empty slot, a cap hovering beside its target, or a piece hidden by a larger anchor. The official game page documents Q and Ctrl, so use Ctrl for cursor recovery and Q only to clear a blocked object.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Empty slot | The board is not complete yet |
| Hovering cap | Placement may not have registered |
| Server delay | Awarding can lag after final placement |
| Wrong universe | A different keycap game will not award this badge |
| Beta issue | A reproducible report may be needed |
Use a short waiting path
Wait a moment after the final placement, step away from the board, then return and inspect the counter or visible slots. The gameplay video shows counter-based progress during a session, but the badge should still be treated as the separate completion award. If the board is complete and the badge remains absent after a fresh server, record the state and report it with the exact universe ID 10388509406.
Badge FAQ
What is the completion badge called?
Sorted All Keycaps.
Does badge rarity prove a cap is rare?
No. Badge statistics describe player completion, not individual item rarity.
Should I re-sort the whole board?
No. Inspect empty slots first, then recover input with Ctrl if needed.
Do not treat a missing badge toast as the only signal. Roblox notifications can be delayed, hidden or missed while the player is still moving. Open the board check first: visible empty positions, final cap seating, counter state and exact universe. Then check whether the Sorted All Keycaps badge appears on the Roblox side after a short delay.
If the badge still does not award, produce a compact report. Include the exact universe ID, the last cap placed, whether Q or Ctrl recovery was used, the server crowding level and a screenshot or description of the completed board. Avoid claiming the badge is globally broken from one run. The useful status is "not awarded in this verified state," which can be compared with later beta fixes.
