You could set the fountain pen nib aside, the remaining pieces stay the same.
The keychain cap does not swivel.

JCHENGSet aside an inked up nib where? Anywhere other than inside a fountain pen or sealed container is a disaster waiting to happen.
Without a swivel, that cap would be undone easily, as had happened to many similar key chain products I used before.
Perhaps an owner of this pen can clarify for me how he would use these features.

MrSharkbaitThe ballpoint head included in the kit comes with a cap. But I would recommend washing your pen nib prior to setting it aside anyway -- wouldn't want to let the ink dry inside.
Both pen heads use the same ink cartridges.

MrSharkbaitI'd recommend using the pen as a pocket pen and not a keychain pen. The pen cap attaches to the back to the barrel to form a full length pen -- so a keychain would obstruct and weigh down.
I carry mine around with the clip-less config., in my pocket neatly resting by my phone -- so I don't have a need for a clip on such a short pen.

JCHENGI didn't realize that the ballpoint uses the same ink cartridge, thanks for pointing this out. The use case I have in mind is to use the fountain pen as default, and when I need to use the ballpoint (e.g for duplicate forms, or signing a document that requires BP) I would switch over to BP, and immediately switch back when done. So I would end up rinsing one if not both heads.
