My Lionel J-36 disappeared while I was in SE Asia many years ago but I 
had already built a vacuum tube keyer and had rapidly lost my "bug-fist" 
[such as it ever was].  A friend who had been a Coast Guard Radioman 
gave me his Vibroplex a number of years ago which I still have.

I'm left-handed but I usually paddle right, pencil or mouse in left 
[works best when I guest op too, most stations are right-handed].  While 
I finally gave up being able to send right-handed with either bug or 
keyer, I found I could use the bug acceptably left-handed.  I don't have 
a KX3 but I do have a K3, K2, and KX1, and it would be a nice operating 
feature for the K3 [K2 and KX1 aren't going to change :-)].  Others have 
asked for an Ultimatic mode too.
