How flimsy is the ring? Can it withstand being banged around along with other keys and automobile fobs?

Is not flimsy, totally the opposite, is pretty stiff. I havent tried to put keys but imho should work without any problem. Something to mention is the usb cap fits on the backside when opened, I mean on the ring; so if you put the keys there, then you shall have to place the cap somewhere else when using the usb.

No, while it won't break immediately it will not stand up to that kind of scenario long term meaning over years which is what one would expect to be the lifespan of a 128GB capacity flash drive.Further it's relatively HUGE physical dimensions to put on a keyring relative to the other alternative flash drives on the market including many with a more durable metal key ring loop.

Nope, mine's held up really well, and I beat the hell out of it (between work and gaming!)! No stuck keys, no dead lights, no squeaks. Solid board.

Hi MC Pankey! We improved the strength and durability of the rings last July, so they should hold up much better than our original rings did. If you run into any problems with them, please let us know. Judging by the answers here, it looks like they have a much better reputation than they did in the past :) If there is anything else we can help you with, please feel free to contact us directly via this link:

I have not tried that. I would assume that is accurate tho. I have a bulky car key and I just used a different ring that was a little bit larger and didn't have a problem "bouncing back." All my other keys worked fine with the rings.

The top part does have a little keyring hole. It is plastic so enough force and it will probably break off. I use it with a small keyring and nylon connect to that.

It will not effect that. It however will not hold the key fobs alone, it would need a key ring with it.

I've had mine for a couple of months now. I keep it on my keychain, taking it off 3-4 times a week. So far, the hinge is still very secure, showing no signs of wear or loosening.

It's not very flimsy at all. The magnet that holds it in place is pretty strong, you can actually hold it from the back flap part and it still won't detach.

It is durable and does not fall apart but as I have posted a few weeks ago, mine had the delete key stopped working which sort of makes no sense to keep it. I was very disappointed. Maybe you´ll get luckier and yours will not stop working..

Our box came with 30 or so small key rings. Each ring is only big enough to hold 1 key and the ID tag just has a number on it. I assume you make a list of your keys and which key corresponds to which number. We didn't use the key rings. Just hung our car keys and such in the box. I'm sure you could get some small labels and label over the numbers with words.

It is pretty secure. But in very hot weather (+85F), the rubber strap inside the clamp gets a little squishy and starts to allow the lock to shift around. And yes, the lock does rattle. I recommend either taping down the key hole cover (open position) if it is bothering you. I used electrical tape.

Without seeing what part of your key is broken it is really difficult to answer for certain. Weight should certainly NOT be a concern. Excessive vibration can be problematic, but keys should not be problematic.

I agree with Lorne Robinson's review. You probably have to be very careful when you put it in the box and it may fall out when you open the box. I think the intent was to house a single key in an emergency but maybe with some feed back to the manufacturer they will find a way to accommodate te new smarter keys. Still a nice unit, have several at our church for contractors to have key fob entry when needed.

It will definitely became bulky if you have many keys/key fobs, but this Troika is really strong and keeps all of them! I use to place 2~4 keys with key fob on EACH ring; bulky but sometimes you don't have a choice. And all this is attached to Key-Bak (TM) retractable holder with Kevlar rope- great thing!

Yes, it's worth it. I bought 2 for each keychain of each car. Not too big. Just right size.

I've had this light for several months now. I keep it on my keychain so as a matter of course I throw it in my pocketand carry it around all day. As I usually do with keys I toss it on the counter or my desk at work along with my keysand have never had a problem. I've even dropped it on the floor a few times. You don't have to use kid goves to handle this light, as long as you're not abusive in your handling of it, it should be just fine.

Yes, it will hold a key with a separate remote fob or a folding key like Audi or Porsche use.
