Will the KX3 development phase be an opportunity to add more facilities
to the keyer firmware, and feed them back into the K3

I agree. I prefer my arm to lie at 90 to the table and my wrist and fingers
to follow in a straight line for minimum stress, maximum comfort to the
paddle. Rotating the rig 15 would help a lot. But I have another problem

The great thing about being part of the rig is that the weight of the rig
holds the paddle down, keeping the overall weight of the portable station
down by quite a lot. My paddle is quite heavy. I once fitted a paddle
inside a Norcal 20 just because my usual paddle weighed more than the rig!
Note that the KX3 also has a jack for a keyer/paddle/handkey/etc. of
your choice. It can be used simultaneously with the attached paddle,
too.

appropriately (about 15 degrees to the left for a right-handed operator). In
practice this works so well that we're sticking with 90 degrees for now. An
angled paddle could also be designed if there were demand for it. There wer
One of the things that impressed me a lot about the KX1 was the 45 degree
mounting of the paddles - VERY practical!
I see the KX3 pictured with 90 degree paddles, equally hard to use on a
table regardless of your 'handedness'.
But then, it IS only a prototype, isn't it?
