Extraordinary Handcrafted Key Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I am so honored to have one of these keys handmade keys. The customer service communication was exceptional. The turnaround time for a handcrafted key was unpredictably quick. The wood and metal are stunning. The brass plate with call sign and the serial number looks professional and pops with the rest of the key. The neodymium magnets allow quick and easy adjustments. Even for someone new to CW like me, it was a snap! The polished brash is just gorgeous. Superb ergonomics!

Exceptional craftsmanship and very smooth action Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
My K7SU Titan has brought back the fun and intrigue of operating a straight key in our age of excessive automation. All parts are meticulously machined which allows for smoother action and nicer ergonomics. The smoother action especially reduces hand fatigue over longer periods of operation. Personally I like the higher position because it allows me to arch my wrist more which seems to be a more relaxed feel, making fast sending much easier. K7SU's, Kelly's, YouTube video on the construction this key is a must-see to gain an appreciation of the the care and craftsmanship involved with building this key. Kelly has truly brought back the artistry and joy of CW operation with a straight key!
