American Morse has several nice key kits, nicely engineering very sturdy
solid keys.  http://www.americanmorse.com/index.htm

Thanks for everyone's comments.  The Black Widow seems like a great deal 
so I ordered one.  I have collection of keys none of which I'm very 
happy with. Most are on ebay right now and not getting much attention.  
I hope to end up with a nice, light compact key with good action and 
heavy one that stays put.  If the Black Widow doesn't give me the feel I 
want then I'm going to try a Kent or an Elecraft HexKey. I hate to 
invest that much since I don't work that much cw anymore. I'm finding it 
hard to make good contacts at my leisurely 15 wpm. And what is up with 
these ops sending code with about a millisecond between their dots and 
dashes? Is that a kind of "I'll work you if you can copy me" attitude? I 
don't get these highly stylized sending patterns. Is it meant to 
intentionally make it hard to copy?
