So how many of you have messed up your swithblade key?

So yesterday when i was getting out of my car, my lanyard got caught on my leg and ripped the switchblade key out of the ignition breaking it into about 3 pieces, luckily i got the spring, button, and everything put back into place with a little help from some super glue. Just in case i ordered a new one because that is the only key i have, so am i the only one who has screwed one of those things up?

Mine is fine, but they are made cheaply, especially for the price.

i'd prefer the keyless entry and keyless start feature....that solves almost all issues

I broke my switchblade key before I even got the car off the dealers lot.

The clip holding the battery compartment shut broke and it split into two pieces.
