You may have noticed what Orbitkey is known for—key organizers—if you happened to pass their setup at the IFA in Berlin. You could be excused for not realizing that Google Find Hub trackers were integrated into these new key organizers.
In terms of Google Find Hub trackers, Orbitkey is not new, nor is it a major organizer. However, the company's latest Key Organizer Tracker is the result of combining more functionality with the esthetic appeal of its well-liked key holders. I worked with the new key tool for a while during IFA, and it will now be a part of my EDC.
With a built-in tracker hidden in one of the sides, the Key Organizer Tracker integrates with both the Google Find Hub and Apple Find My networks. Although it appears heavy at first, I discovered that the new tracker/organizer is just as thick as some key-keepers, such as the Ridge model I was carrying. Orbitkey's Key Organizer Tracker will use the same amount of space if your key organizer has a belt clip.
Even though I don't need to take out my keys when I'm on the run, I've been using it for a few days on my IFA trip, and I've played with it enough to enjoy the design. The post includes a semi-locking mechanism that keeps the goalkeeper from loosening too much, and the keys remain tucked and do not spin. Orbitkey features a revolutionary pressure ring that offers the ideal amount of pushback to prevent your keys from spinning or locking in place, as opposed to a piece of spring steel protruding to maintain friction.
Even the bottom key ring for the matching car keys has a nice design. The bottom, where the plastic and leather flex, is where it is fixed. Pulling it out and grabbing the appropriate key is made easier because it doesn't slide up into the area where keys are kept.
It's ideal that the tracker itself be straightforward. There is an LED to show the status and a pairing button. It charges using a magnetic pin charger that comes with the organizer and features a speaker to broadcast loud chirps via the Google Find Hub app. Depending on how you use it, Orbitkey claims that the new Key Organizer Tracker lasts three to five months. That's a reasonable amount of time considering how simple it is to charge, even with keys on it.
Additionally, the fit and finish feel fantastic. The rest of the keyboard's construction is composed of high-quality, durable plastic, with an outer coating of faux leather available in a wide variety of colors.

To supplement the key holder, Orbitkey also unveiled a new stand-alone tracker. It may not fit in your AirTag-branded accessories because of its tiny popsicle stick shape. Nevertheless, I've discovered that it kind of fits inside almost any bag. It fits into a special pocket of Orbitkey's new tech pouches, keeping it out of the way.
Its battery lasts three to five months, and it uses the same charging mechanism as the key tracker.
There are numerous color options available for both the standalone Tracker and the Orbitkey Key Organizer Tracker. The rest of the company's color options are vivid, even if my photos only feature the black colorway. The key organizer is available without leather in Black, Blush, Cobalt, Citrus, and Orange. Black, Tan, and Forest leather variants are available.
The Universal Tracker costs $34.90, while the Orbitkey Key Organizer Tracker costs $69.90. Both are presently on sale, and preorders for the Key Organizer Tracker are being accepted.
