Buying into a modular system one piece at a time means finding the gaps one at a time. You get the chassis, then realize a faceplate covers one side and there are two. You add a tool, then discover that getting a stacked module back off is a job for a tool you do not own yet.
This is the whole DEF CON 33 build in a single order. Chassis, both sides plated, a multi-tool in the stack, the removal tool that makes it all serviceable, a skin for your YubiKey, and a retractable reel. Seven pieces, and it costs what the Pivot and the MOCA cost on their own.
Seven pieces for the price of two. That is the whole argument, and it holds because this is DEF CON 33 inventory: the design is dated to a conference that has already happened, and none of these pieces are reproduced once they are gone.
What you end up with is a complete, finished build rather than a starting point. Both faceplate faces covered. A tool riding inside the chassis instead of a second object in your pocket. The removal tool on hand before the first time you need it. And a full DEF CON 33 set for anyone tracking the collection by year.
The Pivot 2.0 takes your existing house, car, office, and mailbox keys with no re-cutting and no proprietary blades. Keys and inserts stack on the pin and rotate out individually against a ratcheting mechanism that clicks every 90 degrees and holds the tension you set. The MOCA drops into that stack alongside the keys.
The faceplates snap onto the outer faces with no fasteners, and come off with a paperclip, a pen tip, or the included MRT. Program the NFC plate with the free NFC Tools app, available for iOS and for Android, and rewrite it as often as you want.
Every Pivot 2.0 includes a 2-year KeyportID subscription. Each chassis carries a unique laser-engraved serial number, and if a finder reports it, KeyportID connects the two of you directly and anonymously. No Bluetooth, no Wi-Fi, no app, no phone battery.
Seven pieces: the DEF CON 33 Pivot 2.0 in aluminum, a DEF CON 33 NFC Faceplate, a DEF CON 33 Faceplate, the DEF CON 33 MOCA 10-in-1 Multi-Tool, a DEF CON 33 YubiStyle Cover, the Module Removal Tool, and the DEF CON 33 Jack Sidekick Retractable Mini-Reel. The Pivot also includes a 2-year KeyportID subscription.
Aluminum. It is the black anodized 6061 chassis, laser-etched with the DEF CON 33 design, at 0.7 oz.
No. The YubiStyle Cover is a die-cut vinyl skin for a YubiKey you already own. It fits the YubiKey 5 Series, 5 NFC, 5 NFC FIPS, and Security Key NFC in both USB-A and USB-C.
No. The Pivot 2.0 holds standard keys with a hole at the top, including most house, car, mailbox, and office keys, exactly as they are.
The Pivot has two outer faces. One faceplate covers each, so the bundle plates the whole chassis. One of the two carries a rewritable NFC chip, so you get the programmable side and the standard side rather than doubling up.
Getting faceplates and stacked modules back off the chassis, which is harder than getting them on. It also drives the Pivot pin and stows inside the Pivot without disassembly. Most people buy it after the first time they need it.
The chassis, keys, faceplates, MOCA, and MRT are all non-bladed and travel in a carry-on routinely. Final determination always rests with the TSA agent at the checkpoint.
No. Each DEF CON edition is produced in a limited run for that year's conference and is not reordered or reissued once it sells out.
Where individual stock remains, yes. The bundle exists because the seven pieces together cost what the Pivot and the MOCA cost on their own, so buying them separately costs substantially more.
It is the most complete one. You get the chassis, a tool loaded inside it, both faces plated, and the tool that services all of it, so there is nothing to figure out and nothing missing on day one.
