The build quality of this morse key is really good. I was a little concerned when I ordered it that it would be partially or mostly plastic, but it appears to be entirely made of solid anodized aluminum. It feels very sturdy. It clicks nicely, it feels like a precision mechanism. I haven't attempted to, but it looks like you could totally disassemble it with a set of hex wrenches if you needed to clean it or something.It has two adjustment thumbscrews: one for spring tension, and one for setting the distance of travel... that one for how springy it is and one for how far you have to push it down to make it contact. It's very intuitive, you can see how it works by looking at it. Each adjustment screw has a little knurled nut that you can set to lock the adjustment in place.It came with a little clear plastic box and a surprisingly nice, cloth-wrapped 1/8th inch audio cable for connecting it.All in all, this thing is pretty cool just for what it is, and I'm kinda surprised it doesn't cost a lot more. I'm very happy with it.

Great compact size ease of setup allowing great performance. Appearance falls in with the overall package. Given it's construction makes it's durability longevity to last a very long time. Having the ball instead of the finger cup allows for finger, tap of multiple fingers or palm for people with dexterity issues.

Was just what I needed for portable operations. I am only sad that the optional handle parts aren't available..

È vero, quei bei tastoni di una volta avevano un fascino tutto loro. Ma in uno shack piuttosto congestionato un piccolo tasto trova sempre il suo spazio.Ben costruito, preciso, sufficientemente pesante per non camminare durante l'uso.

A guy in my club got one and really liked it, so I ordered one. With the inexpensive price, I was not expecting much quality.....I was wrong! This key is a great value, well built, super nice feel, and just big enough to get the job done and still small enough for portable, POTA, or SOTA ops too. Get one before the seller realizes what he has and raises the prices.

Great little keyer and looks nice. Positive feel and the blue anodizing looks awesome

The Mini morse key from putikeeg is sturdy and well built, but the adjustments just will not stay adjusted. Slowly over time it'll loosen the distance between the contact which means it'll start clacking away and the distance to activate will increase. Trying to dial in the distance again is a pain, and for small distances it just will not work, since the tension spring is not strong enough. All in all, it's an ok key for being cheap, but I'm just kind of disappointed and looking for another straight key almost immediately.

I've been wanting to have a straight key around just to have that option to see if I like it. I've always used the double paddles before with a keyer but wanted to be able to use either method well. I bought the blue one, it's very well built, and stays in place without the need of securing it to a larger base. I showed it to our club members at our Saturday morning breakfast meet-up, and they really liked it. I adjusted the gap to be pretty small to reduce the motion as much as possible. I jumped right into answering a POTA station on the air, and found I had to slow down just a bit to get in the groove of things.All in all, great little key for the price, solid aluminum, great little key.73!

I havent used CW since 1980, and with 30 meters calling my name, I decided to try to get back up to speed with CW. Then I looked at the prices of keys and keyers and said NOPE. Then I was turned on to this great little key, for a price they all should be. It is adjustable, sturdy, does not slide across the table, and is very easy to use. Highly recommend for both novices, and full time CW ops as well. It just works great, feels great, and the price cant be beat.

結構しっかりしたつくりでバリなどもなくアルマイト仕上げもきれいです。かわいいので飾っておくだけでもいいですね。バネレートがかなり高いので高速打鍵はできませんし疲れますが、CWをメインでやるわけではないがたまにゆっくりとちょっとだけ楽しみたい場合にリグにちょっと忍ばせておくには最適です。繰り返しますがバネがとんでもなく硬いので、初心者の練習には向いていなさそうです。
