Good suggestion, just change the wires!  Too simple!  Thanks for suggestion.

Bill -

I have never tried t send with my non-dominant hand, but I do have two paddles. They are plugged into my DIGI KEYER II through a stereo 'Y' cable. I have not tried this, but it seems to me that you could do that and wire the paddles so that one was 'right handed' and the other was 'left handed'. If that won't work, I apologize, but I think it will, and then all you need to do when switching hands is to just start sending with the other hand... no macros, switches, or changing the position of the paddle on the desk.

I have not had surgery but lots of rehab.  I am planning on using a Macro on the K-POD to switch and use two different keys for right and left hand.  Has anyone written a macro to do this? If not I will do my own.

I had rotator cuff and bicep surgery and did learn cw with my left hand.  While not as proficient as my right it did get me by.  I used the same “assignments” as the right hand has.
Worked out well.
