Absolutely not! One need only listen to the number of *BAD* fists
with paddles - maladjusted keyers, letters run together, "short"
word spaces, missing dits, etc. are all quite common.

paddles and a keyer.
I have about 20 various CW capable radios, every one of them has a built in
keyer
Does not a paddle and keyer give you perfect timing?

A straight key ... any quality straight key. Don't move to paddles or
a bug until you learn proper timing/spacing.
I have to agree. Straight key first, without question. VIbroplex, J-38, yada
yada, just about anything that is a decent key. Many to choose from. Learn
the code and most importantly GOOD timing. Get your speed up. Then worry
about a bug or single/dual lever paddles and the different keyer modes, and
don’t be in a hurry to move to something glitzy.
