From the looks of it, the paddles themselves are guitar picks -
which are easy to get replacements for, and REALLY hard to break
(essentially can't be), esp. the heavier thicknesses, which is what
it looks like are on the paddle in the picture.
I think you guys may make me decide to get one. It looks like a neat
little key! Speaking of neat little keys, I recently got a "code
mite" key from Vibroplex, which is a little straight key, and it's
neat! I really like this little key. 73 de Alex NS6Y
It looks to be a fine piece of engineering, Eric, apart from the
paddles which seem very fragile. Considering that the force of
the thumb and index finger will be pushing against the paddles
which only have a screw head supporting them, my guess is that
one would need to be very light fisted. Just an observation from
the picture - I could be wrong.
