They are expensive. An inexpensive alternative is the Czech key seen at: http://www.uv3r.com/CzechMorseKeys/ has a nice feel also.

Their good action is due to their folded long-arm design. I have one and it is my straight key of preference. If you go for a bug, nothing beats the VizBug at: http://vizkey.com/order.html#90degreevizbug It is a small and very quiet bug (no thrashing machine noises). I have a Vibroplex single lever paddle that I have been using since the early 60s. Perfect for a normal keyer (don't care much for the one in the K3). I have never used a two paddle anything - so no comments about them. Want to learn more about keys and CW operation in general? Take a look at: http://radiotelegraphy.net/ I have no business interests in any of the above and really don't care if you choose an Amplidan or just tap two bare wires together - both of which will get the same job done.
