Classical Mini Morse Code Key - PUTIKEEG Telegraph Key Morse Code Single Paddle Key Aluminum Alloy Mini-Key Morse Finger Morse CW Portable Straight Key Morse Practice Key - Titanium Black

So this little straight key is the perfect balance of weight, motion and finish for a pocket sized straight key. I like the paint finish, it feels nice and does not get slippery with finger oils. I was unsure of the magnetic design versus, lets say a spring, but the magnet was responsive and allows for a nice crisp snap up and down of the key. Really nice for the price. Im new so its important to me to get quality but not spend an arm and a leg for something I may not love, I can say I took a gamble, but it wasnt a gamble and in do love it! This is a quality putikeeg product. I would definitely buy again or try their other products. See my micro paddle review, they (putikeeg) really makes a nice product! They are 2 for 2 with me and Id definitely recommend them to any the new hams learning morse code.

Excellent quality and action.

I, personally, use paddles mainly when operating CW. I wanted a straight key so I could try to get a handle on my timing when sending. This key is very well built! It feels very sturdy and can be easily adjusted to preference. It includes a cable as well as a little pouch to store it in. Even as I mentioned, Im very new to straight keying and ham fisted my way through a few QSOs...but it certainly wasnt the key at fault! I believe this is a great option for a minimal as well as somewhat substantial portable straight key!

This key is a great portable key. For having such a small size, It responds well and more importantly has a good weight for such as small key. The material and finish are very nice. It also has a nice little travel bag to protect the key. I would recomend this to anyone wanting to do portable CW operations.

I was looking for a new key to keep with my portable transciever when on vacation. This looked like a good value and the reviews were all quite favorable. It arrived within two days and I was immediately impressed with the solid feel and quality of the workmanship. Once I adjusted to my liking, I went on the air and proceeded to use it for two hours straight. I was very happy with the overall feel and performance and can honestly say that it rivals my Vibroplex keyer, which cost over twice as much! The only disappointment for me was the supplied cord, which was too short for my radios, which have the key jacks on the back. Add a foot to the cord and it will be perfect. I had a spare cord that I immediately put to use and the problem was solved. I highly recommend this and may purchase another one, just to have a spare.

The key I received, large size, did not have the knob pictured on the left of my photo, but the dish-top knob thats on the small size key on the right. Is there a way to obtain the left knob? This would be a five star review if not for that. The dish top knob causes fatigue in my wrist. Thank you.

Really nice build quality, finish is great as well as the machining.

Very well made.

Ive had this for a week, and have *not* noted any problems with electrical contacts as some reviews have mentioned. ... I wire this in parallel with my paddle-key, so i can switch back & forth between straight key and paddle, on the same radio.

I want to be clear up front, Im barely dipping a toe into the whole realm of CW. That means, to a degree, I dont know what Im talking about. However, I really like this key. It has a very solid feel with a lot of heft in the base. I tested it on my radio, and it worked like a champ. Nothing other than telling the radio I was doing CW was needed, and this thing got the job done (even if I was sending, extremely slowly). You adjust the front and back contacts independently. You can even take it all apart and get some (sold separately) magnets to mount it to a plate or your radio directly (assuming a metal case). The color is nice. Construction is from great material. Overall, I couldnt be more pleased with my first CW key.
