Erik, No you can use the paddles with N1MM and just the K3. The K1EL is for computer generated CW.
Some of us have a hard enough time typing, tuning, using a key AND keeping up a decent rate ;o) For casual contesting, without using computer generated CW, you really don't need WKUSB, the paddles will do it.
