[Elecraft] RE: Why is K2 so easy to send cw with?

[Fred Jensen]

Hmmm ... I learned to use a bug and keyer right-handed so I could write 
with my left.  I can use them left-handed (still set up as a 
right-handed paddle), but it doesn't feel quite right, except for the 
KX1.  On it, I can switch hands easily, and often do.  I have no idea 
why, except that maybe there are no discernible moving parts on the KX1? 
  FWIW: I'm pretty much a Mode A guy and I hardly ever use the Iambic 
squeeze.
