www.i1qod.it has 3 different iambic paddles. TBH: I have no idea what Llamellare stands for.
And 9A5N's touch paddle is a new concept.

° What about the long-term use? Do batteries - springs and magnets need replacing?

The 9A5N isn't exactly new.  Following is an article I posted in 2015 about the 9A5N key:
https://www.eham.net/article/34318.  (It even contains pictures.)
It is still the only key I use, except for QRP out and about, then I pack my Begali Magnetic Traveler.

In the past, it has taken time to become accustomed to a new key.  With the 9A5N I 'got with the program' virtually immediately.  I did the sensitivity adjustment about 3 times during the first few months and it has been years since I've performed an adjustment.  I use Lithium Batteries (not the rechargeable type) and replacement has been at such infrequent intervals I don't even remember how often they've been replaced.  Of course, at my age there are quite a few things I don't remember, or maybe it's that I only remember the important things now.

I think "Llamellare" is a typo and that Alberto meant "lamellare", Italian for lamellar.  Maybe to indicate multiple layers of chrome?

You might want to look at the web site of UR6CDX.  I have two of his paddles and 4 Bengali's and the quality is just as good at half the price.

UR5CDX. He might not be available to contact or ship product, what with the festivities currently going on in Ukraine. One can try, but…

I resent your characterization of the tragedy in Ukraine.  Regardless of your political bent or nationality, to trivialize war and its associated violence and loss life is ignorant.  Even though this is a hobby forum there is no excuse for your statement even in the pretext of 'dry humor'.

Sorry.

I would update my post but too much time has elapsed. My “dry humor” was my feeble attempt to avoid taking too strong a side in a conflict with root causes I know relatively little about. I’m also certain that UR5CDX has more important things to deal with than his paddle business, and my “dry humor” was also an attempt to suggest that ham business contacts with him can wait.

I condemn any action by either side in the conflict resulting in loss of human life. I hope this clarifies my original intent, despite my poor choice of words.
