Here’s a neat find: an innovative switch plate design ^[1] by Jake Frey, a 3rd year Industrial Design student at Philadelphia University. The magnet appears to be powerful enough to hold a whole batch of keys by the key ring alone.

And in case you don’t fully understand how it’s designed, Jake provides this blueprint for the idea

Looks like you can buy it directly from TheFancy for $25. I think it would be great for our upcoming workshop, but unfortunately it only comes as a single plate. We’ll likely have at least a two-gang box out there.

Perhaps Jake will see this and make us our own custom version. We can hope.
