Good Morning Gang
I've been a fan of the Kitano vertical iambic paddles for a number of years. First lemme say that I'm a CW Wizard Wannabe, not one of the real pro's at all - so my comments should be taken in context.
I've played with PCB versions, micro-switch versions, and modified mouse versions of the vertical-motion paddle over the years. I like the piano style motion, I like the fact that they arent as subject to lateral motion, I like the keying surface flexibility when I'm hiking (leg, stump, log, ...). None of these were anything like the Kitano Key Jim Cates let me play with once.
Since then I've had my eyes open to find one, missed the one recently posted in an Estate Sale. BUT I did find that the Kitano Keys are still available. You can still get Kitano Key's from Christopher 'Kit' Raymond.
