We all know that one person, whether it’s a friend or family member who is constantly freaking out over their misplaced keys or smartphone. Back during the Moto X (2014) event, Motorola also unveiled a unique little product called the Power Pack Micro, a battery charger that doubled as a key/smartphone locator via Bluetooth.
Today, Motorola has unbundled that Bluetooth tracking function from the Power Power Micro and made it available as a tiny key FOB dubbed the Keylink. A spiritual successor to the Moto Skip, we actually got our first glimpse of the device back in August thanks to an FCC filing. The Keylink serves a variety of purposes. The first is and most obvious is beeping on your keys should you ever misplace them. It also works the other way around via the Motorola Connect app (compatible with most Android devices) to ring your smartphone if lost.
Our favorite? If you’re running Android 5.0 Lollipop you can take advantage of their new “trusted devices” feature to keep your phone or tablet unlocked while in proximity of this little device. Other Motorola Keylink features include:
- Compatible – Motorola Keylink pairs with any Android or iOS smartphone using the Motorola Connect app.
- Key/phone finder – Make your phone ring anywhere up to 100 feet away. Or use the app to see where your keys are on a map.
- Skip your password – Keeps your Motorola, Droid, or any Android 5.0 Lollipop smartphone unlocked when your keys are nearby—no need to enter a password.
- Splash-proof – Keylink can get a little wet
- Battery that lasts – Full year of battery life using a replaceable standard coin cell battery
The perfect gift for the absent minded, we’re not sure what took so long, but you can buy the Keylink direct from Motorola for just $25 via the link below.
