There is a certain value in learning to use a straight key. Requires no power or batteries, is immune to RF, and passable CW can be generated with just about any type of contacts. I recall using gum wrappers taped to my fingers when I was a kid ( just fer fun).
I still have one hooked up. I don't use it often, but I find difficulty using paddles under QRS conditions. Sadly, so many years of using paddles makes tickling a bug impossible anymore... yuck!
