1. A key device comprising:
a generally elongate shaft portion; and
at least one magnetic key combination element disposed in said elongate shaft portion and rotatable with respect to said elongate shaft portion about a rotation axis, wherein said at least one magnetic key combination element has an operative mode in which it rotates with respect to said elongate shaft portion and aligns with a magnetic plug element such that said at least one magnetic key combination element magnetically interacts with said magnetic plug element and brings said magnetic plug element to a shear line of a cylinder lock and wherein said rotation axis is not parallel to said elongate shaft portion.
