Fun key at a great price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought mine on an Ebay auction, and wired up a cable to use it as a cootie. The contacts inside are easily accessed if you want to do that by soldering in a jumper but I decided to just make up a cable so I can switch to use with a keyer by using the cable that came with it.

This paddle is 3-D printed with a pretty heavy steel base, and comes with an Allen wrench to adjust the contact spacing, as well as a spare paddle. It takes quite a bit less effort to use than my saw blade sidewinder, and if I use a light touch it does not move. When testing with a keyer it did not move at all.

These can be ordered with different colored paddles (mine is grey). If you're looking for a single paddle for a keyer or a cootie key that will stay put (if you don't smack it around too hard), I don't think you'll go wrong with this key, especially for the price.

Great key, especially considering the price Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After using a single lever and a dual lever paddle, I've come to prefer a single lever. Sadly there aren't very many single lever paddles available commercially. I found stumbled across these guys after seeing one of their dual lever paddles for sale so I ordered a single lever paddle. I am extremely happy with it. The only reason I can't rate it 5 stars is because there is no way to adjust the tension and the action on it is extremely light, but it is a pleasure to use one you've gotten used to it. I highly recommend these guys as they are a small, family owned US based company. I've since ordered a straight key and a dual lever paddle from them and (considering the price) their stuff is top notch.
