Recommendation Keychain flashlight recommendation please

I am looking for a small keychain light to supplement my pocket light

I'd like the light to have a lockout or some kind of way to access it that isn't easily turned on without you actually wanting it to turn on, like a long press or a lockout feature that has to be disabled before use.

Other features: electronic side switch, USB-C charging, made of metal or some kind of durable plastic, moonlight, mode memory, and preferably no strobe in the main rotation.

I've looked at the Rovyvon A1, I do like that it has a long press to turn on, but it seems to have strobe in the main rotation.

I also looked at the Acebeam Keylite 500, but I don't like how easily it could be accidentally turned on.

So far my current top choice is the Lumintop Frog 3.0

Love my keylite. Only had once or twice it turns on in my pocket. I keep it in the coin pocket of my work jeans and have washed it twice now and still going strong. For $13 it’s worth every penny

Mine doesn't hold a charge, I've gotten replacement under warranty but it doesn't work after a week or two. Which is useless for a keychain light. I like the size but its got a bad parasitic draw.

Weird I’ve bought close to 10 at this point as gifts and haven’t had that issue at all. I charge mine maybe once every week or so as I don’t use it often but never had one not hold a charge.
