GHD Keys GN507F Classic Iambic Paddle
GHD Keys GN507F Classic Iambic Paddle features a unique, light touch mechanism with low mechanical noise. The "F" model adjustment springs are at the far end of the hairline "brushed" levers, placing the gold plated contacts a short distance from the dual-lever fulcrums that produces a short and smooth "finesse" keying motion without bounce-back at the clear finger pieces. The GN507F heavy square base is over 4.5 inches with gorgeous hardened mirror chrome finish and chrome plated mechanical parts. This is a top-of-the line, beautiful and easy to use fully Iambic squeeze paddle that will provide many years of trouble-free performance. The companion GN607F model has the identical light-touch mechanism on a narrower rectangular base with red finger pieces. These light-touch F models are similar to the difference between the light touch of a Bencher and the harder feel of a Vibroplex Iambic, which is better suited to a "paddle slapper."
