If you're willing to pay more than $100 for a paddle, it's hard to beat a
Begali Simplex at $150-$170 depending on details.
If you get the Simplex, spend the extra $15 for gold contacts, IMO. They
are a permanent solution to contact problems.
Being a single-paddle guy, having cut my teeth on the Vibrokeyer, I have the
simplex mono. It's better than the Vibrokeyer in that once it's adjusted it
STAYS adjusted.
It's easy to set the Simplex for reliable operation with the barest
perceptible movement of the paddles.
It's the only key I like better than my old 1960s Vibrokeyer. I make fewer
errors on the Simplex Mono than on any other key that I've used. My only
regret is that I waited so long to get one.
Just one aging gomer's opinion.
