Sure, Mike,

I'd be willing to offer an opinion.  I really like my Hexkey.  I have 
serial no. 16, which I bought pre-owned.  (I think this paddle is too 
classy to be thought of as used.)  I had no trouble adjusting mine to 
the point where I like it; but that may just be me.  I fix cameras and 
have to adjust the film plane to within 10/100ths of a mm; so fine 
adjustments are a way of life for me.  I've found that you adjust 'em 
and leave 'em there.  This key stays put.  I have mine adjusted so that 
it feels almost like a touch keyer - no perceptible movement - just how 
I like it. 

I've never used a Begali or anything as classy as that; but right now? - 
this paddle stays on my bench and is going nowhere!
