Schlackertaste would be nice.
schlackern - to dangle
Taste - key
In fact there is no specific word for a mechanical bug in the German
language. Most German hams use the English word 'bug' for this sort of
morse key. 'Schlackertaste' sounds humorous since 'schlackern' describes
the fact that something doesn't fit properly in its dimensions (maybe
your large pants schlackern around your thin legs ;) ).
