Has anyone used a Key Silencer to prevent your keys or EDC neck lanyard gear from making noise?

I wouldn't know where to buy one or how to make one.

I bought a leather key case (then bought a better, non cheap one because the cheap one the key holders kept coming open) to silence my keys then turned it into my mini-psk.

What did you manage to squeeze into your mini-(or micro) psk?

Leather key cases are not that large to begin with. Thinner than Altoids tins, surely.

Its a Bosca 6 key case. I don't have much in it yet, three keys and an ARC AAA hang from the key clips. A gerber ridge knife with the clip removed (those screw were tight, had to dremel them off BTW) and a watchband compass with the watch band clip removed. A P-38 in side flaf so far also. Not a lot but there is still a bit more room to add. I add things little by little as I get them.

I had a couple pics of it but must have deleted them. When I get a chance I'll take a pic again and put it up on my web site. I call it a mini-psk since it doesn't have quite as much as a lot of the psk's described here, but I'm always adding and try to buy top quality stuff instead of the first thing I see (Arc AAA for example if the high end of price and quality for small led lights).
