[CW] What is the best telegraph key??

[Sherrill Watkins]

Unfortunately, that all sounds good but $350 for a straight key is absurd.
What I should have said is what is the best key for the money!? This question
leads me back to the Triumph style. -73- Sherrill W. k4own.

In my quest for the perfect straight key this one has always been near the
top.  Along with the Swedish Pump Key it seems to be favored by very many who
enjoy CW.  And the best part is, they are both available right now at MorseX:

I have heard the GHD GT501M compared most favorably with the Marconi 365,
both like butter:

And I can't tell you how many time I have heard Swedish pump key praised for
it's precise feel:
