How Permit.io Created the Ultimate Dev Swag with Goblintechkeys
At developer conferences, standing out is everything. For Gabriel Manor - Liechtman, VP of DevRel at Permit.io, the challenge was clear: find swag that sparks curiosity, pulls people into the booth, and actually gets used after the event.
The solution? Custom clicky mechanical keycap fidget keychains made in collaboration with goblintechkeys.
Why These Keychains Were a Swag Success
In Gabriel’s own words on LinkedIn, the key to exceptional developer swag lies in three simple things:
-
It starts conversations
-
It attracts attention
-
It becomes part of someone’s daily life
Our custom-made fidget keychains did all of the above—flawlessly.
1. The Ultimate Icebreaker
Attendees kept asking, “What are those?”—opening the door for Gabriel and the Permit.io team to explain the story behind the fidget and share what they do. It wasn’t just a giveaway—it was a conversation catalyst.
2. A Walking Billboard
Once people got them, they couldn’t stop clicking. The sound traveled across the venue, catching the attention of curious devs and leading them straight back to the booth. Every click was a new lead.
3. Sticky Swag That Lasts
These weren’t toss-it-in-the-trash giveaways. They became permanent desk companions, helping developers stay focused during meetings—and keeping Permit.io top of mind every single day.
Designed to Click. Built to Last.
Every keycap was printed with a custom illustration that captured Permit.io’s personality and branding. Built using high-quality PBT materials, each fidget was not only tactile and satisfying—but also durable and collectible.
And thanks to goblintechkeys’ low MOQs and fast turnaround, the entire project was done efficiently and affordably, without sacrificing design or impact.
"The mechanical keychains from Goblintechkeys hit all three perfectly... SWAG score: 100/100."
