Obligatory: I did a search and found no similar posts.

I’ve been using my onlykey duo for about a week now and love it. It’s a tiny device that does exactly what I need.

Unfortunately, the structure could use a little refinement. This happened earlier today, and I didn’t even feel it happen. The little carabiner that comes with it just tore right through the loop. Still works, and I may be able to solder a little copper pad back on to make button 2 easier to touch.

Without it being on a key I don’t know how it will be convenient to carry around. Maybe I’ll get a tiny leather pouch or something.

Anybody else have this issue?
