The thickness of 1 piece of 80# printer paper. A single piece of those
yellow post-it notes works equally as well. I do this on my Vibroplex
single lever and Iambic dual lever paddles. I like a light touch on
the paddles. Spring tension is very important to the "feel".
I recently replaced the feed on both of mine. In speaking with Scott at
Vibroplex where I ordered my replacement feet, he indicated they
typically only last 3 to 4 years before they start slipping around.
My experience, if one moves only their fingers when sending, this is
correct. If one moves their entire wrist to send, then I was advised to
learn to send correctly. Works for me.

Hi, Everybody,
What do you set your gap width to on the contacts of your paddles? Is there an
optimum gap width, or is it totally a personal preference?
Because this is an off-topic post, if you reply to me please do it directly.
Thanks!
