It must be an age-related thing. I'm 78 and seem to do better with a
single lever paddle, my preferred models being the Kent and the Palm
Single. I have a Begali Adventure Mono for my KX2 which is OK but the
adjustments are quite critical.

I tried it once. I don't know what the changes were from the early
ones, I think this one had the new springs or whatever. I found it
hard, my KXPD1 on my KX1 was much better.
That said, I'm 76, injuries to my hands 50 years ago and arthritis
now, I began to find my Hexkey hard. The paddle pieces are small and
like Jim, without a solid rest for the radio and my arm, I pretty much
sent Klingon.

With that said, what's the opinion of the KXPD3 key?
I've tried to use one that my neighbor bought for his KX3. IMO, its
only virtue is its small size. I found that I could only use it if I
could somehow set the KX3 on a surface so that I could rest my wrist
on something, and even then, I found it difficult. OTOH, at age 75
and bored with ragchewing, my fist which used to be good is no longer.
