Default Rings for D3/LR3 fobs

Ahoy! I have had my LR3 for about 4 years and the whole time I had a light weight ring on the fob that attached to the rest of the keychain. Well, that has finally bent out of place and I need to get another. The problem is, the small attachment point doesn't have enough room for any ring I can purchase. I have tried small carabiner types, and those won't hook in either. So right now, I carry my LR fob and separately, my keychain with my house keys and a tracker. I know I could purchase one of those sleeves that are on the market, but I would prefer something that would directly clip to that attachment points. The smallest keyring I could find, 3/4" in (about 19mm) won't attach- it gets bent out of shape trying to shove it through that tiny area.

So, LR hive mind, what do you use/suggest?

Just find a very small ring from a locksmith and then add a larger ring for the keys.

right, I have very small rings- the typical overlapped type that you have to "thread" through 2 turns to attach; they just don't properly fit without bending them to get them through the tiny space for getting it attached, then they get bent out of shape. Just looking for another option if anyone has them.

This is what I’m talking about. I have a variety of rings and they all end up like this and this one won’t get past that one point. It’s maddening.

The little flimsier key rings work well and they're cheap. Like the ones on dealer key tags.

You need a much smaller ring, never had issues finding them.
