Omg yes i tried to do that oso but the ihs is sooooo hard to drill through

Neat, but I'd probably find a way to reinforce the hole. It looks awfully fragile.

Agreed im trusting on the pcb to hold itself. Would resin work? Like make the keychain into a epoxy brick and then drill through the resin? Defeats the purpose of having the ram stick tho coz then u cant touch the ram stick

Or like make small rings using acryllic that could also work...

Maybe have the hole a bit further in so there's more material surrounding the hole? It looks like there's only 2-3mm at most of PCB, pretty easy to break, put it in a bit further so there's closer to 4-5mm of PCB on either side of the hole and it should probably be OK.

I'd try and find a small grommet and use that.

I don't think many people are going to get off touching the RAM stick itself If anything I'd say it's probably more detrimental having it exposed, as they can be a little sharp, ripping into clothing.
