I have a Bunnell that I picked up years ago.  It is very stiff even when the 
spring is adjusted for maximum length, and you have to screw the key down to 
the desk or table to make in usable.

I have never really tried to use it; my normal key is a 1929 vintage 
Vibroplex original bug.  My electronic keyer and Bencher paddle have been 
gathering dust on the shelf for many years.
