I have the Elecraft-branded version of the Hex-Key and also the BY-2 
(and a couple of Vibroplexae).  I personally never had any trouble with 
the BY-2 and was content with its feel, but decided I had to have the 
Elecraft name (oy!).  But it's a really good paddle, the finest I have 
ever used.  I have the contacts adjusted for a very tight feel and a 
very minimal movement of the fingers is required -- and it can certainly 
handle speeds which are but a fond memory for me (I'm "certified" at 35 
wpm; alas, that was long ago).  The thing to do is try one -- you may 
find that you are pleased indeed.

73,
