Magnetter is a stylish key holder that works without using hooks or a shelf or cup of any sort. As you probably guessed by the name, or this post’s title, it works by using a powerful ten pound neodymium magnet hidden behind the curved mahogany finished wood key holder. You simply touch your key ring to the board and the magnets holds your entire key ring and keys. Just slide it off to remove your keys and quickly head out the door. Simple and elegant. The curved top can even be used to stash mail or other papers behind. The Magnetter measures 8″ x 6.25″ x 1.5″ and comes with wall anchors for mounting and three steel keyrings as shown above.

There seems to be an endless stream of reuses for keyboard keys but I don’t think we’ve ever seen a USB card reader made out of them, so here we go. This four slot card reader uses the control and enter keys. The control key is just a cap for the USB plug. This reader supports a whole slew of formats including SDHC 2.0, SD, micro SDHC, microSD/T-flash, Sony M2, Memory Stick, and MS Duo. It supports Window Vista/XP/2000 and Mac OS. Pretty cool and it comes in dark blue or white.

Very geeky! We’ve seen single keyboard key jewelery of various types here but you have to be an ubernerd to get one with a 3 key combination! Yes control alt delete might not be as ubergeeky as say Command Q or shift F7 but it’s still waaaaay geekier than just getting a pendant with your initial or initials on it. Unless your initials happen to be Cntrl Alt Del in which case your parents are the biggest geeks ever and completely illogical with a complete disregard for the English language. You might as well change your name to an unpronounceable symbol like Prince did.

So getting back to the jewelry, this three key pendant is mounted on a glass tile pendant which is on an 18″ silver and black beaded chain, and incorporate a silver plated hook-and-eye clasp to make closure security a real snap. They cost $39 (although in my opinion they could sell a lot more by pricing them at a geekier number like $42 or $64, even if it’s higher).
