    So This Was Obvious

    Gaydar Keychain Answers That Question Once And For All

    You know how you have that friend—for simplicity's sake, we'll call him Aaron Froucho—that you're never quite sure is gay or straight? What better way to answer the question for all eternity than with a $14 keychain? The thing has three readouts, "gay," "straight" and "maybe," so if you get "maybe," keep asking until it decides one way or the other. Or, if you're feeling lonely, just go with it. Aaron will.

    Discount Lightsaber Keychain Proves You Don't Have To Be Rich To Be a Jedi

    Whoa, whoa Mr. Moneypants. Pay five dollars for a lightsaber keychain? Do we look like a manager of Baskin Robbins or something? All we can afford is this two dollar lightsaber keychain, which may not have that fancy "authentic movie" handle, but lights up and attaches to your keys all the same. And if we can't get our lightsabers at Darth Cheapo's Discount Lightsaber Emporium, we'll just go ahead and pass. [DealXtreme via GizmoScene - Thanks KC!]

    Ultra-Shapable E-Ink Becomes Reality This Fall

    How many concept products have we shown featuring some form of curved or oddly shaped E-Ink display? A pillion?* Thankfully, the good people at E-Ink have seen fit to make these dreams come true: New "ultra-moldable" E-Ink cells are 40% thinner, can be cut into unique shapes, and even curved. This doesn't mean they're bendy, but it does mean you will be one step closer to achieving that bionic soldier-of-fortune look you'd like to cultivate to woo the ladies. The first product to be demonstrated is this humble but high functioning Delphi keychain. In the world of novelty keychains alone, the possibilities seem limitless. [Electronista] More »

    Radioactive Tritium Makes Keychain Light Glow For 10 Years

    Besides being somewhat dim, most keychain lights have batteries that only last a couple months before needing to be replaced—which often never happens since nobody has watch batteries lying around. But what if you could have this Mini Tritium Keychain, which lasts about 10 years without needing to be replaced? If you're worried that keeping something radioactive in your pocket next to your gonads is a bad idea, keep in mind that the particles emitted are supposedly so weak they don't even penetrate your skin. Also keep in mind that science has been wrong about stuff before. [DealExtreme via Gear Diary via Oh Gizmo]

    LED Lightbulb Keychain

    Watch Keychain Concept Makes You Jingle all the Time

    Although the concept of putting a watch on a keychain is a good one—one less thing to carry around—the fact that it's a keychain makes it less than convenient. Why? Imagine having to fish out the lump of metal with all 10 of your keys to see what time it is, while at the same time trying to keep your wallet inside your pocket with the other hand, clumsily.

    Keyport Eliminates Pocket Jingle

    Getting more and more keys to put on your keychain when you were a kid may have been cool, but now all that massive clump of metal does is give your pants that unwanted bulge look (as opposed to the wanted bulge look). With the keyport, you're free to shove six of your favorite keys into what looks to be a lighter-sized gadget, easily extending and retracting them when needed. Plus, there's RFID and a built-in LED light, as well as keyless entry for your car. More »

    Bush Office Countdown Keyring

    We'll leave the political debate for our concerned citizen cousins over at Wonkette, but here's a Backwards Bush keychain that counts down the days he has left in office. So if you're the kind of person who really needs to know exactly how much time is left until we need a new president, here ya go. Personally, we'd enjoy a lunchtime countdown keychain much more. Mmmmm, lunch. – Jason Chen More »
