That is exactly what I did, Rich and Paul...
The "connector" I used was a 2 pin connector that is/was in use in
computers to connect activity LED's and reset buttons to the main board.
They fit perfectly and can be salvaged from nearly any old PC. Use the
two right hand upper and lower pins and put the front key setting to "hand"

I have been exploring options for connecting a paddle, bug, or straight key, to the
front edge connector on my new KX3, and some of you have shared ideas and suggestions
with me. I greatly appreciate everything that has been given. But I also contacted
Elecraft technical support and asked them about that unusual square 4-pin connection
and they sent me a link to the actual part supplier that they use. (Click here
<https://www.samtec.com/products/ssq-102-02-f-d-ra>) That is outstanding
customer support! I haven’t decided what I am going to do yet but I sure am enjoying
this new rig!
