My "main" key is a WBL v22, and it is something. I got a Elecraft
edition HexKey, however, because I wanted to see what all the fuss over
magnetic return was all about and didn't feel like shelling out the
obscenely huge bucks for the Mercury. I was quite pleasantly
surprised. It took me a bit of time to find a proper combination of
settings for the contact and magnet gaps, but I eventually did. I now
have a key that is quite reliable with a very light and barely
perceptible motion. I won't say either it or the WBL is better; they
are just different. And they are both very, very fine paddles. My
only real complaint with the HexKey is that the adjustment screws are
too coursely pitched to make fine adjustments as easy as they ought to
be. But they do work, and, overall, the HexKey is a wonderful addition
to my shack.
best wishes,
