[Elecraft] CW Key suggestions ?

Yes,

IT packs into the Case much smaller and lighter than any Begali.  I have
both, and only take the KXPD1 in my suitcase.

OK, now -- hijacking this topic to ask a question of KX1 users...

I bought the paddle key attachment for my KX1 but I have not installed it
yet.  I seem to prefer using my Begali key with my KX1.  The attached KX1
paddle seems like a great feature for hiking in the mountains where the
weight of the Begali may become an issue.  But, I doubt that hiking with a
KX1 is in my future.  I hike with my wife and the mere idea of having some
electronic gismo with me is against her ideas for being up in the Cascades.

So, I am now leaning on not installing the attached paddle set.  Unless
someone here has other good ideas for why it is useful.  I have operated the
KX1 in a portable location on a picnic table in a park but the Begali is not
a problem in that situation.  Actually, the last time I did that I forgot
the Begali and used my Bencher from my truck mobile rig.

Any good reason to keep and install the KX1 attached paddle?
