Tom, The timing problems are a product of the multitasking and interrupt processing in Windows, and not a fault of the K2 (or K3). So the real answer depends on the computer that you are using. If you are using a dedicated computer to do the 'hamshack chores', and there is nothing else running to steal cycles from the keying mechanism, then you will likely have good results without the WinKeyer. But if your computer is doing multitasking and as a result has delays before the keying interrupts can be processed, then you will either have to "suffer the consequences" or use the WinKeyer which avoids these problems.
