I am currently "sheltering in place" far from home and would like to set
up a station here.  I'm an 11-hour drive from home so I need to buy all
new accessories. 

I already have a good Vibroplex key paddle at home so I don't need
another high-quality one.  The good ones seem to start at around $175,
which is way more than I want to pay for temporary use.  I once made a
homebrew paddle made out of bent aluminum sheet metal and a pair of
micro switches for the dot and dash contacts. ("A Lightweight Homemade
Keyer Paddle", QST, July 2009).  I was satisfied with that paddle, so
you can see that I am not obsessive about "feel". 

So who makes a decent, inexpensive key paddle?  (By the way, I don't
need the iambic feature, so a single-lever model would be fine.)
