The KXPD1 paddle is $69 and works with the KX1. To use it with the K2 
requires the KXPD1-K2 adapter ($65). Both are custom-machined, 
precision assemblies.

We could probably design a single unit that's the equivalent of the 
paddle plus adapter at somewhat lower cost. But this would be less 
versatile. We hope to offer a K1 adapter for the KXPD1 someday, too.
