Hi all, I like the looks but I use the dah knob on my BUG for slower speeds. The side slant keeps my arm muscles from tensioning up vs the straight up and down of a straight key. My old J-38 is retired!

Hi Mound and GHD (both Japan) still makes straight keys of quality. GHD produced a nice BUG, 601 I think. I have it and it's very well built but I still use the Vibroplex Original Deluxe the most. If you can find a precision built N0SA BUG, they are top shelf. Larry only builds a few at a time and it has solid state closures with no mechanical contacts. Lightning fast and smooth  :-) I have #1.
