I have a key organizer solution I've actually made myself. I don't own any patents on it or anything, and it's very simple to make yourself too. It's essentially a much more affordable, arguably more versatile version of the Wingback Keyloop. - DIY Keyloop Materials • Elastic Shoelace Metal Buckle • 2mm UHMWPE Dyneema Cord • 3mm Elastic Cord • 8mm Bead (Your choice)/10mm Silicone Cord Locks (Optional) • Kevlar Thread (Optional) • 8mm O-ring Set (Optional) You will be buying this stuff in bulk, but it should still be less than one Wingback Keyloop. Step 1: Tie an individual overhand knot at both ends of the dyneema, and elastic cord. Or a constrictor hitch with the kevlar thread around the bent ends of both loops. (Bend the ends of the loop over themselves if using kevlar) Step 2: Open the "buckle" and thread the dyneema loop through one hole, and the elastic loop through the other. Knots should be hidden inside, with the loop leading out the smaller hole. Optional Step: Slip an O-ring on the threads to make the "buckles" more secure, and thread your choice of bead on the elastic side to use as a cinch.
I love the "vault" key organiser from Ashland Leather. It's a leather wrap with button enclosure - keeps your keys from scratching things. Another one I like is the Carl Friedrik organiser: similar to Orbitkey but it's only open on one side. I found with Orbitkey that my keys would fan out when I didn't want them to, e.g. in my pocket or bag. That doesn't happen with the CF. I like the idea of the Quiet Carry key organiser as it has a blade or multitool option as well, but it's basically a chunk of metal compared to the nice softness of a leather wrap.
I’ll have to check the Jibbon. I have a Keybar for my house keys but for work, I found a relatively inexpensive alternative on Amazon called “Carbocage”. It holds quite a few keys (plus some “barrel” keys that I use for work). The only thing I don’t care for with either CarboCage or the Keybar is when it’s time to add or remove a key and needing to add much needed spacers to keep the keys from rubbing together or to balance the two stacks of keys neatly. Jibbon seems to solve this best.
I’ve had my Orbitkey for about 5 years now. It’s held up very well. I agree it would be nice with easier disassembly but we are EDC guys, when would we not have something on us to take it apart? Plus their latest version (recently a Kickstarter) fixes that issue and the loop moving around
I hate walking around sounding like a junk truck & I'm as gadgety as the next person... However, I refuse to spend money for something as simple & easy to make as a key silencer. I've made them from a piece of an old leather belt or a piece of an old leather garment. All I need to make a key silencer is some leather, a grommet kit, a couple of split ring key rings & a little sweat equity. A custom key silencer made to fit my needs exactly, virtually free. Easy peasey!

Freeballin' in Janitor mode....that's how I roll! 🤣🤣🤣
I highly recommend the Quiet Carry key organizers. I have the Shorty. I think you'd love it.
The Belroy key cover in leather has served me well. Got the keybar in aluminum per ur suggestion and have been loving it. 💪🏿
Urban Carvers for the Win. The V2 Grenade is great for fast and easy attachment points on my edc pack.
The caches are great for meds too
I've tried a lot of key organizers and always seem to go back to the keysmart with the klecker tools but been wanting to try the keyport as of late

Love my leather key holders from Tale of Knives!
Some elegant solutions kind sir. Bottom line; I hate keys.
Need to come up with something for a vehicle key. On these new cars , most keys are monstrous in size.
Absolutely love Keybar 😎
I have that big jangle. I have a Olight carbiner that has more tools than keys on it.
I just started using the Keyport Pivot 2.0 before that it was a RovyVon U4 pro...but I just didn't want to jingle anymore lol.

I saw they have another kickstarter today for a sling
Great video, X! What would you recommend if you just have a car fob and one single key?
Hmmm the Cache by Wingback a large key ring. I think the cache comes with it
Thank you X! LETSSSSSS GOOOOOOO damn keys i tell ya. 😅
I've been thinking for a while how clipping my keys to a belt via carabiners is annoying verse just putting your edc key organizer in your pocket.
My keys hang on a big snap link and do sound a little janitorial.
AMAZON Hide & Drink, Wrap Keychain Full Grain Leather, $10.99.

Those Cache systems are a little tricky, I had a $20 bill in one for almost 2 years... It was as biyatch to get out.
I’ve had to use tweezers before. You just have to stuff the money in the male end of the system and slip all that into the female side
Let's be honest, keys are the worst. And "keychain" edc items are a whole new level of redundancy anxiety
Nice. ✌️
