I have the same problem with my KX3 serial 0325, uC=1.5 and DSP=1.21. I
never really noticed it until I abandoned paddles and reverted to bug
and 'swiper operation. It's not impossible; just "unpleasant" so I turn
down the AF gain with my left hand when transmitting.
It may have always been there but paddle usage doesn't really require
the concentration that bug and 'swiper use demands to achieve proper
spacing and timing.
Anyway...that's my two cents.

REALLY like Elecraft to clean up the QSK on the KX3.
Recently I've been noticing annoying pops in the speaker when sending
CW. Maybe they've always been there. I never noticed them before. It's
been a while since I installed firmware, so they must have been
present but ignored for a while at least. They really jumped out at me
when I started playing with a new sideswiper paddle last week.
The pops happen at key-up, not key-down.
They are heard with the internal speaker and also with external
speaker or headphones.
The pops are present when using the internal keyer, with an external
keyer, and with a hand key.
If I send a series of dits while varying the keyer speed (with
external keyer), the pops are most pronounced around 19 wpm.
My KX3 is S/N 77, on FW 2.11.
Dual watch is not active. RIT and XIT are off.
My AFX mode is DELAY.
My QSK delay is set to 0.01 to try and reduce the QSK thumping.
