Hmmm...  Looks like "paddles" to me.  Just my .03!

Interesting new design of a paddle.

He calls it a "keyer" - I've hear new comers call their keys this term.

A keyer was an electronic circuit that keyed a transmitter, and the key 
controlled the keyer.

It seems to me that the misuse of the word "keyer" started about 10
years 
ago.
