This key organiser is meant to be stylish and sleek, all while offering enough space to store six keys in its compact design.
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
We've taken a look at Journey's Lock 8 series before, which is essentially a couple of items which are made to make travel and organizing your stuff more effortless and with more high quality designs and materials, but also to help you find these items if you lose them."
"The problem has been for a lot of people that use Android-based devices, so much of this stuff is coded directly into Apple Find My.
That is obviously because they have an iron grip, Apple that is, of this accessory market, and what that means is that a lot of these things tend to favor Apple Find My and forgetting that there's a lot of people, globally particularly, that just use Android."
"So this is the Lock 8 Universal Key Organizer, and the universal word in there is because this supports Apple Find My and will tie directly into that, but also Google's Android Find Hub, which basically means that you can add this to the Find Hub.
There's a brand new Find app, not brand new, but it is newer, Find app on your Android device of choice, and it works exactly like you would."
"So you don't need to go to third-party manufacturers like Chipolo that has their own networks basically.
This ties directly, more smoothly, into Android and it will work regardless.
It has all the same functionalities that you're used to, a button which will call it up, very easy access to your key because this is tool-less, so you just twist this and you insert as many keys into this organizer as you want."
"It is covered in this really fantastic soft-touch leather, and all of the bits and bobs that allows you to track it if you lose them is here, and it's only slightly thicker than it normally would be.
The one key thing that I can point to is that this is pretty thick, I would argue."
"It is actually so thick, so you could fit a USB Type-C port, but instead, Journey has gone for a proprietary POGO style format, meaning that once you lose that little USB based POGO pin adapter, well then you cannot charge it.
I'm sure that you only need to charge it like once a year, maybe."
"But even so, we shouldn't accept proprietary charging formats in general, and while it's easier with the POGO pins there, I'm sure, it would also, by the way, require in a lot of cases that you'd have to remove or slide out your keys, whereas I would argue that maybe a USB Type-C port there, even though that it might open it up in terms of if it can handle water or something like that, splashes."
"Still, it is really cool to see Journey lean into a more universal connection approach, and I do applaud them for that.
Thank you so much for watching.
See you on the next one."
