Top 9 Best Key Organizers (KeySmart and Alternatives) in 2023

I have been personally using this KeySmart for years at this point, and have been extremely impressed. You can read my complete review right here, although, to sum it up, I have not looked back after starting to use this one.

The KeySmart Rugged is a durable and compact key holder that is perfect for those who are always on the go. It can hold up to 14 keys (with included adapter) and features a strong steel frame (much more so than than other options) that can withstand even the most intense activities.

The KeySmart Rugged also has an included bottle opener (this can be removed or kept if wanted) for those who like to enjoy a refreshing beverage after a long day.

Whether you’re an avid adventurer or just looking for a way to declutter your pocket, the KeySmart Rugged is the perfect solution.

If I didn’t currently use the KeySmart Rugged above, this Ridge Forged Ember KeyCase would be my next choice!

The case is made from durable red and gray style forged carbon fiber, and the unique design ensures that your keys are always securely stored.

My favorite thing about this key organizer (outside of its awesome styling) is that it is able to handle a significant amount of keys (up to 6 keys), yet it is still extremely compact and lightweight.

With its included pocket clip, it makes it easy to keep track of in your pocket! I was surprised to find that I use the pocket clip on my key organizer every time it goes into my pocket.

If you are someone that likes matching your EDC gear, you might want to take a look at Ridge’s matching wallet as well.

I originally had this KeySmart at the top of this list, as it is the most comprehensive key organizer (can handle up to 14 keys) that I have found, and it of course is made by the king of the key organizer industry.

I lowered it down to this position though, due to the heftier price, and the fact I like forged carbon fiber.

This awesome key organizer offers Tile capabilities (making it easy to locate your keys), has built in ring tones to find them when lost, it can make your lost smartphone ring, and even includes a flashlight and multi-tool.

While you will need to charge your key organizer for many of the electronic features, it lasts up to 60 days on each charge.

If you are looking for one of the most well rounded options on the market, for a reasonable price, the KeySmart Max is an awesome option.

Following up on the successful 1.0 version of the Pivot, the 2.0 is one of the best key organizers on the market today. It is extremely lightweight (being made out of aluminum), and has tons of awesome customizable features to fit your needs.

The base Pivot 2.0 gives you everything you need to keep your keys organized, and is quite similar to the original KeySmart that we will talk about later in this article.

However, what sets the Pivot 2.0 apart from the competition, is the ability to add other accessories to the body of the organizer. First, you choose the body of the Pivot (standard is the mentioned Aluminum, but you can get steel or titanium).

Then you choose your inserts, ranging from multi-tools to USB drives. Finally, you choose your modules or faceplates (these are add-ons to the body of the Pivot), and this can be knives, pocket clips, or flashlights.

Essentially, the KeyPort Pivot 2.0 gives you the exact key organizer that you would want. Choosing from any accessories you could want.

If you really liked the KeySmart Max above, but don’t quite have the budget, then you should think about getting the PRO version! It offers all of the same features, just with a lower range of usage (60 feet instead of 150), and a lower battery life of 30 days instead of 60.

However, it still offers plenty of the same features, such as Tile integration, the ability to make either your key ring from your phone, or your phone ring from your key, and of course the ability to handle up to 14 keys.

This key organizer also has a more traditional shaped design, instead of the design of the Max.

At a fraction of the cost of the Max, the Pro could be the better option for you, if you still want to maintain many of the smart features!

Not everyone needs a key organizer with a ton of different features like tracking, flashlights, multi-tools, etc. For those people that would prefer style over function, then the OrbitKey Leather Organizer is for you.

Instead of the metal housing you find on most key organizers, it is replace with a leather strap, and a single key organizer on one side (that can handle up to 7 keys).

One major benefit of utilizing a leather build, is that the material is considerably more kind to other items in your pocket. Metal key organizers have a tendency to scratch, or damage other things in your pocket, while this OrbitKey is going to be much less likely to cause issues.

This key organizer is in fact the first key organizer I ever owned! Being gifted this organizer set me off on the search for the best key organizers on the market. This one in particular is the first, and original key organizer from the biggest name in this industry (KeySmart).

It’s steel and simplistic design was revolutionary, and allowed people to finally keep their keys from jingling around in their pockets, and made it considerably easier to access their keys when they needed it most.

If you are on the hunt for a simple, tried-and-true and easy to use key organizer that can be expanded to hold up to 8 of your keys, then you should probably get this one.

Yes, you probably are so tired of hearing the name “KeySmart”, however they truly do have options for everyone, and make some of the best key organizers on the market.

That said, this is the perfect key organizer for those that just want to organize keys, and keep them from jingling around in your pockets.

What is essentially a tiny plastic strap with a screw through it, the KeySmart Mini gives you everything you need, but nothing that you don’t.

The KeySmart Mini can handle up to 5 different keys stacked on top of eachother, and it keeps them out in the open, instead of inside of an enclosure like the rest of their lineup.

Not only is this organizer light on features, but it also is light on the pocketbook as well, as it is well under $20 to add this one to your EDC collection. Minimalism at its best.

While I am personally not a huge fan of Apple Air Tags, if you are, then this is the best option for you! This 5 key organizer from KeySmart has an easy to use pouch for your Apple Airtag.

The organizer is made of high-quality leather, meaning you not only can keep track of your tools on your iPhone, but it can look and feel great as well!
