CW Morse Code Key - Pocket Morse Code Telegraph Key Aluminum Alloy Base Grey for Amateur Radio Ham Operators, Adjustable Tension (Red-09)

What a sweet little straight key, it can be hidden in your hand. very well made. Smooth action too.

I really can’t say enough good things about this little straight key! Bought the Ham Radio Solutions adapter to use with VBand on computer and Phone (Morse-It app) and it works great and has a lot of adjustment so that you can find what works for you. I was able to set my hand on the table and use just the pad of my pointer finger, holding the sides with my other fingers… make it comfortable… it’s small, keep that in mind, I’m sure you COULD hold it by the knob with your arm elevated to click away, and if you have small hands that might be what you’ll do, but it’s more comfortable using a single finger. This model has a spring for return/resistance, this is NOT the model that uses magnets for key resistance/return… TL;DR: A great little key, very simple, well made, anodized aluminum looks and feels great. Good weight, sturdy, can easily throw in a pocket and go. The all-metal construction makes it a joy to work with and keeps it steady on your counter/desk/whatever flat surface you plan on using.

I bought this for portable use. It took a little time getting used to it but it works and is well made. I recently replaced the existing knob with a full-size Navy knob and what a positive difference it made. If you need a small and easily packable straight key, this one works very well (now with the bigger knob) for me. 73

Surprisingly stable given the small size, and very comfortable in the hand. I picked this up for portable operations, but I love the look and keep it displayed on my desk when not in use. Adjustments are quite responsive, and hold well for a portable key.

Does not come with pictured audio cable. That will cost you an extra dollars. How petty!

Most of your modern transceivers call for a stereo plug, you just need to change to straight key mode in your menu. older radios will probably require a new cable with a mono plug, or you can just add an adapter easily found on Amazon or Ebay 73 J

This pretty little Morse Code Key has an excellent heft to it and is wonderfully sturdy and robust. I had no problem letting a bunch of kids play with it at a radio show without any worry about them breaking it, and it was as good as new at the end of the day. It's a good size to fit into our travel kit, and it looks gorgeous too. HOWEVER, as a note of caution, the cable that comes with this key is a stereo cable, NOT a mono cable. If you use a stereo cable with this key, your radio will assume you have a two-paddle key and only send dits OR dahs, not both. If you have your own mono cable, though, it works perfectly well with this key. To get this key to work on its own with what is supplied with it, you'll need to buy an adapter or a new cable. To be fair, the stereo cable is the one advertised in the listing. It probably would be best if the seller switched the included cable to a mono cable, though, so this key can work out of the box without needing your own additions.

Great. Love it. Nice finish great little key

Well made works perfect and love it. Would buy another
