The holes in the normal keys are big enough to allow them to rotate toward the ring's plane. If you were to put keys on both sides of the key ring key you'd hardly notice it. Plus, you'll always be able to identify your house key in the dark. It actually does lie pretty flat in your pocket with keys on it as the normal keys don’t sit perpendicular to the ring’s plane.

This is not a clever design. So instead of my aggressively-culled key ring, I’ve got this thing that will never lie flat in my pocket?

(Probably a bad idea in the face of modern airport security, and more than half of the "keys" I carry today are electronic anyhow...)

It WOULD be fun to see how strong the ring is when other keys are torquing on it. When I think of my wife's keyring, however, with all of the inter-attached rings and clips and such, something like this could easily form the core of a really nice set-up.
