I have the microHam microKeyer and haven't changed any parameters and it's
all but indistinguishable from the K2. The elements of the characters might
be a little shorter or the timing may be slightly different but I just don't
notice it at all.

I have my logging program (WriteLog) talk to the microKeyer as a WinKey
device. I think WriteLog sends ASCII to the microKeyer, so I don't think
there's any timing issues caused by WriteLog. I also have a PS/2 keyboard
plugged into the microKeyer and it sounds the same as sending from WriteLog.

Are you using a paddle or driving it from software? If the latter, make sure
the software isn't generating its own key presses but instead is configured
to use WinKey.
