I also have individual keys for each car. The only one I have a picture of.

Since I went electronic house lock, I realized I no longer need to carry more then three keys. The other one for my parent's house. I changed their lock too to electronic. Hate keys so now, its only one key. But a few times, it seems to slip off my fingers. I am thinking about hooking a key ring to it to make it easy to grab or have some grip

BTW…key chains with too much junk hanging on them can cause failure in the electrical part of the ignition switch. I’ve seen it several times in 986, 996 and Audi (same switch). FYI.

Doesn't have to cause only electrical part failure, happens mechanically as well. I ruined the switch of a Dodge pickup that way...too many keys, the miles of vibration took a toll.

They had to recall the chevy cobalts because they were turning off when people had too many keys and then the steering locked and brakes didnt work and they crashed into stuff

A couple I used to use. I've gone minimalist and only have car and house key on most of my daily use ones now.

Cool keychains!!!
I also absolutely despise keychains with a bunch of keys or other keychains attached, a keychain should fit comfortably in my pocket or I am removing keys.
When I drive my daughter's car, I take just the fob with the car and house keys and leave the rest. My daily driver has just the car key, house key, and the small key to my locker at work on it. We do have several keychains for our various vehicles but each keychain only has the necessary keys and thats it. The keys to the cabin are also on their own specific keychain as well.

15 keys required for truck slide in camper and enclosed car trailer.
With all the duplicates hidden on the rig, 30 keys total.
Race car uses a momentary switch, no key.

I try to keep it minimal, and keep different sets for different vehicles. In this pic from top to bottom you have two sets each of 1989 VW Tristar Doka, 1986 VW Syncro Westfalia, 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser.

I just rebuilt my Cayenne Keyfob, that was very satisfying. You can see the new and old one side by side. I may upgrade to Kevlar panels soon .
