Begali Simplex Iambic Keys

Begali Simplex Iambic Keys are a popular starting point for many CW enthusiasts. Here are a couple of stylish versions among several popular "economy" Begali models that feature a heavy, 3 pound (1.4 kg) base. However, the Simplex Iambic bases are finished in a striking dark palladium plating, or a gorgeous gold plating, with dual black arms and gold plated components. These are among the few Begali keys that use long springs for the return force. Like their other keys, the Simplex is manufactured using CNC machinery for absolute accuracy and 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 solid sterling silver or 999 silver, not silver-plated. With its uniquely shaped and finished base and red plastic finger pieces the Simplex Iambic is 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.
