Working on a more useful evolution of the , my XOR mechanism thats useful e.g. to unlock garage keys with a name tag for auto-documentation who took them.

This compact board houses 20 of these XOR pairs, so 20 keyrings could be tracked. But I also think this could be turned into a rad , what do you think? Tying two of those together with a string is also very fun, I tried.

What do you think?

A self-documenting key storage system. You want the garage keys? Insert your name tag to unlock it. Done? Put the key back, free your nametag.

@nobodyinperson This is cool.

My version of this is a torx screw in a wood plank where my all in one keychain is supposed to be. :P

@raise_project Yeah for a single person that's totall fine, but as soon as you involve multiple people, the massively annoying questions concerning whereabouts of keys begin. 😓

@nobodyinperson My key is rarely where its meant to be even if I´m the only manipulator. 🫥
Maybe I need something more playful and rewarding.

@nobodyinperson could be used for things that aren't keys as well

@castaway Totally! On the linked Printables page I show it for a USB flash drive.
