Orbitkey Key Organiser Review.

Cyclists tend to carry a surprising amount of kit on every ride. Tools, food, a phone, spare layers and of course, keys. In this Orbitkey Key Organiser review, along with a look at the Orbitkey Crossbody Phone Strap, I want to show why these everyday items can actually make life easier on and off the bike.

Most of us simply throw our keys into a rear jersey pocket and forget about them until we get home. That’s what I used to do too, until a friend mentioned he keeps his keys in a bar bag. His reasoning? In the freak chance of a crash, he didn’t want a jagged key digging into his back.

At first I dismissed it as one of those million‑to‑one scenarios. However, once the Orbitkey Key Organiser arrived, the idea resurfaced. I realised it could help me stay organised at home and reduce the chance of a key‑related mishap on the bike. Plus, it would make finding the right key on the family key hook – a chaotic tangle of identical metal – far easier.

Setting Up the Orbitkey Key Organiser

The Key Organiser replaces the usual jangling keyring with a soft leather strap that wraps neatly around your keys. This keeps everything compact, quiet, and far less likely to jab you in the back during a ride. It also prevents your keys from scratching your phone or anything else you carry.

Assembly is simple, though a little fiddly at first. Two threaded posts – one male, one female – pass through the strap and your keys, with spring washers to keep everything tight. Flat keys work best, as they sit neatly without interfering with each other. Keys with chunky plastic heads still fit, but you won’t be able to carry as many.

Orbitkey includes an extra metal loop for attaching a car remote or fob. I used it for my garage remote, which means I can now play my favourite end‑of‑ride game: trying to time the garage door opening perfectly as I roll back in.

Finishes, Accessories, and Customisation

The Key Organiser comes in a range of materials and colours, including leather, suede, and TPU polymer. You can also add accessories such as:

• Extender posts for thicker keys
• A USB‑C drive
• A nail file and mirror combo
• A Bluetooth tracker
• A multi‑tool
• A bottle opener

It’s not strictly a cycling product, but it’s undeniably useful for keeping your keys secure, organised, and out of harm’s way.

Orbitkey Crossbody Phone Strap Review

Next up is the Orbitkey Crossbody Phone Strap. I’ve been using this one despite my children’s relentless mockery. They claim it proves I can no longer remember where I leave my phone. I argue it’s simply practical.

When I’m recording outdoors or riding rough Sussex lanes, I’m always worried about dropping my phone. With the Crossbody Phone Strap, that worry disappears. If I lose my grip, the phone can only fall as far as the strap allows.

I’ll admit I also use it around the house, which saves me trudging upstairs to retrieve my phone from wherever I last abandoned it. I’m not quite brave enough to wear it in public yet – my kids would never let me hear the end of it – but it’s undeniably handy.

How the Phone Strap Works

The strap attaches to a small tab that sits between your phone and its case, leaving a discreet loop exposed. This connects to a zinc‑alloy toggle and carabiner, which also holds the cord. Adjusting the length is easy: just slide the toggle up or down.

It’s a simple idea with limited cycling‑specific use, but for filming, navigating, or just keeping your phone secure, it’s surprisingly effective.

Final Thoughts: Are Orbitkey Products Useful for Cyclists?

While neither product is designed specifically for cycling, both are handy; whether you’re a cyclist or not. The Orbitkey Key Organiser keeps your keys tidy, safe, and easy to access, while the Crossbody Phone Strap adds peace of mind when handling your phone on or off the bike. For cyclists who appreciate clever, well‑made accessories, Orbitkey’s gear is well worth a look.
