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]
*I am not entirely sure there is such a quantity as a "pillion," but there should be.

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]

Musical Finger Plays Mozart When You Pull It, or Something

Why do I find this funny? Because I'm sophisticated, that's why. Pull the finger on the keychain and it drops a loud one. Drop $6.98 and it's all yours. [The Lighter Side]

LED Lightbulb Keychain

I would imagine that Thomas Edison is rolling in his grave over this little gadget. It's an LED light keychain shaped like a lightbulb. That is like making a cake that looks like a sandwich—it is just wrong and deceiving. $6. –Travis Hudson More »

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 »

Brookstone Digital Photo Keychain: 56 Pics, 50 Bucks

And that, by my calculations, works out at 89¢ per picture, which is, effectively, 89¢ per keychain if, like me, you think that new photo = new keychain (well, it works for me.) Cheap as chips, don't you think? There's a 1.4-inch screen and 8MB of internal flash memory and it works from a built-in, rechargeable battery. Like I said, $50. – Ad Dugdale More »

Game & Watch Donkey Kong and Zelda Keychain
