Kent Morse Keys Twin Paddle Keys have been designed and precision-engineered to the highest standards. There is no better mechanical twin-paddle CW key available anywhere!
These keys are machined from solid brass and employ a heavy steel base with non-slip feet for stability. Ball race bearings, silver plated contacts, and fine-pitched screw threads with knurled instrument-type heads allow for a precise and individual adjustment on each of the two contacts and springs. This means that your left and right paddles may each have different tensions to suit your own "feel."
So, sit down and enjoy some effortless CW with one of these quality-machined Kent Morse Keys Twin Paddle Keys from DX Engineering!

Fantastic keyer! I never used anything but straigt key and then only rarely 40 years ago, because I was more interested in SSB. I got back into Ham Radio last year after being absent for 32 years, so I wasn’t really sure that I could ever adapt to a paddle keyer. But I bought this one anyway. Wow! I relearned the Morse alphabet in a couple of hours (guess irt was still in there) and then started playing with the keyer. It took about a day to become accustom to the mechanics and timing of the paddle. Within a week I was comfortably keying at 18 wpm. The keyer is as smooth as silk and a pleasure to use. It is beatifully machined and assebled and appears attractve on the desk. It is heavy and stays put even if you get a little exuberant with it. Love it! Now, to get my copy speed to match my sending speed. Hi, hi.

Great key!

I started taking CWOPS classes and the instructor recommended this as the best paddle for the price. Since I received it, it's been very easy to learn on and easily adjustable to my needs. It looks good on the desk and is built sturdily. Heavy enough that it doesn't move. Great purchase

This is a very nice paddle. I have used Bencher paddles for a very long time, but bought this one recently when I failed to pack a Bencher when we came down to Florida for the winter. Ordered the Kent and found it to be better than the Bencher. It feels more stable and positive, and can be very finely adjusted. I'm tempted to buy a couple more and replace my Bencher paddles up in NJ.

I replaced my Bencher and Vibroplex Iambic paddles

This Kent TP1-B for me is the best key/paddles I've ever owned. It is easy to adjust and maintains the adjustment setting.
Many others have commented that it it heavy and doesn't move around their table. I believe it doesn't move while I operate it because it has a light touch so doesn't get pushed around, plus it is heavy. I am happy I replaced my Benchers and the Vibroplex lamic paddles with this Kent TP1-B
Also for me at this price its an excellent value.
