Paddle for the KX3 - has anyone tried the Begali Adventure?

[Chris Wagner-8]

For those who want to use the KX3 /p and for whom every gramm counts,
could you comment on the original paddle vs I2RTF's Adventure paddle?

I have the Begali Adventure serial #2.  To me the Begali has much better ergonomics than the Elecraft paddle.  When  attached it angles up not pointing down and can be swiveled to any angle you desire.  When I used the KXPD3 I had to prop up the KX3 so my fingers were not hitting the table, not so with the Begali.  As to feel of the key.........It's a BEGALI!  For weight size comparison see their website.  I'm not a backpacking ham but to me the size and weight difference is minimal.

I also have the KXPD3 and have the same observations.
I also ordered the  Begali Adventure this weekend but it is backordered.  
They should be  available again in a couple of weeks.
Look forward to my next Begali to add to my Stealth and Sculpture  
collection!

I second what Tex says.  It only takes a word or two to realize that this is a Begali.  The optional magnetic base is a real pleasure, especially for mobile operation.
