There's another very inexpensive alternative not yet mentioned:
touch key paddles. For my purposes, mostly ragchewing at 25-30 wpm,
I actually prefer touch key paddles. There's no need to fuss with
contacts and adjustments, and they react to a lighter touch than even
the best and most expensive mechanical paddles.
I use Jackson Harbor's touch switch (kit), $11.50, postage paid.

I put the circuit board in a Radio Shack project box with dimes, one
on each side, as the touch contacts.
CWtouchkeyer has a variety of kits and assembled units.

There probably are other manufacturers offering kits and assembled
units.
