Makes complete sense. Well said

And if it's on a carabiner on your belt loop, you want a middle ground which is a situation in which large hair ties really shine. Added bonus, you're likely the sort who needs one regularly and likes being able to offer one to people who need one.

Seems like the purse is going to have an ever escalating competition for being big enough to grab.

You should get an S carabiner for the flash drives so you don't have to plug your keys into your computer.

The Ventoy stick i have is a Lexar 128GB one that has both A and C on it. Highly recommend as thats then one less thing to carry.

The Ventoy thing reminds me of my minimalist setup:

• My car keyfob.
• My apartment key (on an extra keyring so it dangles lower to use immediately when I grab the whole set by the keyfob).
• My mailbox key.
• My work key.
• Minimal 256 GB flash drive partitioned into 100 GB for Ventoy and 150 GB for random personal files. This is my favorite minimalist shape for flash drives by far.

I have done geocaching and I've got a Steam Deck, so I may be borrowing the pen and adapter ideas, though I'll probably keep the adapter with the Deck.

My place has a lock with an key fob. I cloned it to a sticker snd put it on my license. I can leave with my car key, license, and CC and be good.

Sounds like you need a purse for that

Where's your chatelaine?

Honestly, it takes as little as like, 2 keys and you can load it with those little tags from supermarkets and such. Eventually I'll put my library card tag in there.

Here's what my set looks like. Some 6 years post purchase.

I had the same one, and my biggest complaint was that the screws would come undone in my pocket.

But the second biggest complaint was that keys on opposite sides could sometimes get stuck together.

I got rid of it and replaced it with a belt clip carabineer one and it's great. It also doubles as a belt end holder if your belt doesn't have one.

I liked having mines, having a mostly used key on the far end made the handle work as leverage. Had to get rid of it when my new flat used the thick old style keys though

Absolutely, the feel for where your keys are is almost immediate. Especially because your keys have a weighted end with addition of car keys. You'll figure it out quick.

No, it's pretty obviously just rods going through the "eye" of the keys, any kind with holes (which are the vast majority) should work. They're obviously gonna use the same kind of keys in the product photos but that doesn't mean its a forced thing. If it was a forced thing they'd not sell at all and wouldn't have come to the position of being mentioned here.

I think they try to make these things so you can just put in your normal keys, so they work with the different key profiles.

Careful, DO NOT share photos of keys with the teeth visible. It's possible to duplicate keys from a photo.

Depends on your threat model of course, if you're just a guy (or gal) with no enemies or online fame/infamy, you probably don't need to worry about things like that. Just be aware of the possibility.

I’ll do mines after I emigrate.

More evidence that giving women functional pockets would solve basically everything for everyone

You would be shocked how fast objects get lost in even a small handbag... So many panic attacks thinking ive lost keys

I put a S-biner on my Jeep key for the summer because my wife liked to drive it with the top & doors off & girl clothes don't have reap pockets. She proceeded to take the key off of the quick release and attach it via the split ring to her car keys, airpod case, and little clutch purse so she wouldn't lose it.

I explained that she could just unclip the key & she said "I did, but I still had to hook it to my stuff." When I explained that it unhooks from both sides, leaving the key on the clip so she could have just clipped it on, that was "too hard" and I was "being complicated".

An 8Gig flash drive with bad sectors maybe?

Dad?

I did that for years. Then I realized I was "that guy" who always jingled and jangled while walking around. I have converted to the pocket and I don't think I can go back now.

I carry stuff in my pockets already. I could fit an additional key on a ring, maybe with a small tricket too. Otherwise, I'd have to leave behind my needed pocket items to fit that. And it doesn't look comfortable either. You need a "valet mode" for that thing (easy detach car key only)!

Temporarily. To hold and gaze at while doing so! I had not thought of that.

"Gimme five bees for a quarter" we'd say

I still see daisy chains of blind box rewards. Ur good.
