No price set, the actual design is not finalized.

Wondering if the Dasher Cootie paddle would change my operating style, I
put a cardboard cutout next to a Bug at about 2 finger widths from the Bug
dah paddle. This was only a guess for spacing.

For double dashes,  ie, like Q, W, J, M, numbers etc, I am finding that
touching the Cootie Dasher paddle feels very normal. Even if making the
character has your finger at the Cootie Dasher then touching the dit paddle
is not a strange feeling.

Probably my explanation is terrible, sorry!

73,
