If you never want to have to search for your keys again with Orbitkey, you have two options: the Chipolo x Orbitkey Tracker V2, which fits into the key organizer just like a key and works with iPhone and Android devices via the Chipolo app, or an Apple AirTag in the Orbitkey AirTag Case attached to the D-ring, which can be located via Apple\u2019s Find My network. The Chipolo sits inside the stack and rings your phone at the push of a button, while the AirTag hangs on the outside and can locate your keys even when your phone is far away. You can find out here which solution suits which phone and which habits, along with the dimensions, battery life, and limitations of both systems. Both are available on the Orbitkey brand page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Chipolo x Orbitkey Tracker V2: The Tracker That Fits Right Into the Stack<\/h2>\n\n

The Chipolo x Orbitkey Tracker V2<\/a> is a Bluetooth tracker shaped like a key: 65 mm long, 24.5 mm wide, 7 mm thick, weighing about 28 g, and made of ABS plastic. It has a hole like a key and is threaded onto the shaft of the key organizer in the same way, without blocking the D-ring. If you prefer to attach it to a bag or backpack, use the included leather tassel and elastic strap. It uses a CR1632 button cell battery; the app alerts you when the battery is running low, and replacement requires no tools. <\/p>\n\n

The free Chipolo app works on iOS and Android, which is a practical advantage over the AirTag in households with devices from both platforms. Three everyday uses: You can make the tracker ring via the app when your keys are somewhere in your apartment. Press the button on the tracker, and your phone will ring\u2014even in silent mode\u2014a feature you\u2019ll find yourself using more often than you\u2019d think. And the button also triggers the camera shutter in the Chipolo app, perfect for group photos without a self-timer. The range is limited to Bluetooth\u2014so your apartment, the office, or your car. It\u2019s not the right tool for keys you\u2019ve left on a train. <\/p>\n\t

AirTag in the Orbitkey AirTag Case: the Apple network on the D-ring<\/h2>\n\n

The Orbitkey AirTag Case<\/a> is a compact snap-on case made of TPU with a hardened 304 stainless steel ring; it is 51 mm long, 36 mm wide, and 9 mm thick. The AirTag is not included. The case is intentionally designed to be open: any engraving on the AirTag remains visible, and the case doesn\u2019t add bulk. It attaches via the open key ring to the D-ring of the Key Organizer or directly to your keychain. An AirTag does not fit inside the key stack itself\u2014it is too thick for that. The leather case for the AirTag<\/a> with a snap closure is currently not available in any color. <\/p>\n\n

What sets the AirTag apart from the Chipolo: According to Apple, any nearby iPhone participating in the Find My network can locate it\u2014anonymously and securely\u2014without your own phone needing to be nearby. A keychain left behind at a restaurant will thus appear on the map without your phone needing to be within Bluetooth range. The downside: The AirTag requires an iPhone; it cannot be set up with an Android device. According to Apple, the battery is a CR2032, which you can replace yourself. <\/p>\n\t

The rule of thumb: If you have an iPhone and want to be able to find your keys even when you\u2019re away from home, go with the AirTag in its case. If you use Android, misplace your phone more often than your keys, or want to keep the tracker hidden in your pile of items, go with the Chipolo. Using both together isn\u2019t a contradiction: put the Chipolo in the pile and the AirTag on the D-ring\u2014that way, your keychain is covered from both sides. <\/p>\n\n

Here’s how to attach the tracker to the key organizer correctly<\/h2>\n\n

You attach the Chipolo just like you would a key: Loosen the screw, slide the tracker over the shaft with the hole aligned, insert the washers, and tighten the screw again until the stack clicks into place with slight resistance. It counts as one of the 2 to 7 keys on the Key Organizer Leather<\/a> and Active models, or 3 to 9 on the Key Organizer Pro<\/a>. It\u2019s best to place the tracker on the very outside so the button is exposed and you can reach it without opening the stack. <\/p>\n\n

The AirTag Case attaches to the D-ring. If you often separate your keychain\u2014for example, when handing over your car keys\u2014you can insert the Orbitkey Ring V2<\/a> with a quick-release clasp between them. The Clip V2<\/a>, with its magnetic Fidlock clasp, holds the entire organizer\u2014tracker and all\u2014to your belt or bag. <\/p>\n\t
