Step 2Make room for the usb
My first thought was to replace the actual key with a flip out usb key. But, after looking at the sizes of everything I had, I decided to keep it simple. Plus adding my house key would make it more useful to me. The keys are easily interchanged if you later decide to use your vehicle key, etc.
I used my Dremel again to cut out a notch for the usb connector and to remove the plastic molds for the battery and circuit. I removed the purple case from my usb and wrapped some electrical tape around the circuit. It may be better to leave it open since the board heats up. I'm not sure, so leave a comment if you have suggestions. Once the space is cleared out, the usb slides in easily. A little hotglue secures it in place.
