Build Your Own Keyport for 20 Bucks, Save $280

You could pay $300, send Keyport all of your keys and wait for months for your sweet keyfob and get nothing back, except for maybe your money. But then you're still out a Keyport. Or, you could build your own for about $20 and an hour of time your time, using a Leatherman Micra modded with a little elbow grease and key-grinding to hold all of your keys in a compact unit with flip-out action. And just think of how manly and awesome you'll feel after messing around with real tools and sweating. Hit the link for a step-by-step. [EDC Forums via Toolmonger, Thanks Keith!]

Keyport Update: Refunds Issued, But They're Keeping Your Keys

Now we're not sure what's going on with Keyport now. Two weeks ago they managed to ship a unit to NOTCOT to fool around with, but apparently there's SOMETHING going on in the manufacturing process that makes it unsuitable for shipping it out to paying customers. Keyport told Josh five months after he paid and shipped them his keys that they were going to refund his money, but keep his keys. Wha? More »

$300 Keyport Keyfob Dissected, No Goblins Guarding Your Keys Lurking Inside

Yep, someone spent $300 on a Keyport just to break it apart. Sadly, there's nothing supernatural inside, like a portal to an alternate dimension that houses your keys until you need one. Just cut-down keys with some notches. But! Apparently Chen's keys have fallen into a wormhole of sorts—he sent them in to get a Keyport made back in December, and he still hasn't gotten one. He's been locked out of his house ever since. [NOTCOT]

Keyport Slide Update: $50 Version Coming 2008

Not to inundate you with endless updates about the keyport key device, but we've got some news that you'll be glad to hear. After the limited edition $300 run is done, there's going to be a cheaper $50 edition of the Keyport slide some time in 2008. More »

Keyport Production Video Shows Why It's Great For Motorcycles

The $295 Keyport that allows you to combine six keys into one slick-looking device is near the Optimus Keyboard on the scale of totally overpriced things we would really love to have. Their production videos show you at least part of what your three hundred bones go toward: manufacturing. A machine that urinates water onto key slides doesn't come cheap. More »

Slick Keyport Keyfob Shipping Now, Still Way Too Expensive

The Keyport, that undeniably cool yet retardedly expensive keychain thing that holds a half dozen of your keys together without jingling, is now shipping. If you've got $295 sitting around and nothing better to do with it, now's your chance to keep your keys from making noise or scratching your iPod in your pocket ever again. Thanks darkthunderfx!

Keyport Slides Into Production; Pocket Noise OCD Types Rejoice

If you're among a select few with well-lined pockets (that you don't want jangling) and have already placed yourself on the "reserve" list, for $300 and copies of the six keys you want slotted, the slick key consolidator, Keyport Slide, can be yours in silver, black, pink or blue. That's right, they've shifted from pretty picture to production, but they're only pumping out 5,000 for the first run. Since the "first" set is "limited edition" you'll probably be able to pick up subsequent runs for vastly cheaper. Or you could just tie your keys together with some yarn [NOTCOT via BB Gadgets] More »

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 »
