[Elecraft] Small Straight Keys for /P or Travel

I am looking for ideas for a small straight key for travel,
either for a KX1 or K1 (haven't decided which radio yet).

So far, the miniature straight keys I have seen all appear to
be "shrunken" versions of pump or traditional keys- the exception
being the Whiterook mini-key.  My J38 legiron is too bulky
and uncomfortable though the leg mount is good in some /P operations
and mobile.

I'd need a key that does not require a second hand to hold it
while sending and is small and light for travel.  (Yeah- why not
learn iambic and use the KX1 paddle...)

Thanks,
Jay
