Begali Simplex Iambic Keys

Begali Simplex Iambic Keys are a popular starting point for many CW enthusiasts. Among several popular "economy" Begali models that feature a heavy, 3 pound (1.4 kg) base, the Simplex is available in this stylish version, with its base finished with a striking dark palladium plating, with dual black arms and gold plated components. This Simplex Iambic is among the few Begali keys that use long springs for the return force. Like their other keys, they are manufactured using CNC machinery for absolute accuracy. Micro-threaded screws facilitate precise spring and contact adjustments. The paddle arms are held in place by four ball bearings imbedded in the base. The ball bearings are made of a light-weight alloy that provide an extremely low moving mass which allows exceptional responsiveness at high speeds, especially when the paddle arms are set for a light touch. The contacts of the Simplex Iambic are made from a durable "925" sterling silver, not silver-plated. With its uniquely shaped and finished base and red plastic finger pieces the Simplex Iambic key is not only a precision instrument for the CW operator – it is also a piece of art that you will display proudly at your station.
