I use a Palm Mini-Paddle at home, never mind portable. They are quite tough
and don't need adjustment. I would suggest making a spare lead as the 3 pin
connector to the key is quite vulnerable to rough handling.

A neighbour doesn't like the feel of the Palm compared to his Bencher, but
it's just a matter of getting used to a different key. You will need
"Blu-Tac" or similar to fix it to your bench.
