Super and pleasantly surprised.

For VK3IL CW Pressure Paddle V2

I use cwmorese.us keys and really like them.
but I'm always wanting to save a milligram or two from my pack weight.
When I first go the VK3IL CW Pressure Paddle I plugged it into my QMX.
I expected a learning curve but there was at best a 2 second get to know your
period. Bottom line, it keys wonderfully and I'm already scheming another one
to have as backup.
I also do a lot of photography and have a set of winter gloves that allow me to expose
just my thumb and index finger tip......works a charm with this pressure paddle.

I did write VK3IL during the ordering process and experienced almost instantaneous
response. Just a good selling and a fantastic product if you love CW.

Perfect - robust and extremely light paddle for portable ops

For VK3IL CW Pressure Paddle V2

I am a keen CW op who enjoys setting up portable in all locations and all weather, so am often out on the beach getting covered in sea spray, or on the hills and in the woods in wind, rain and mud. In all these scenarios I have a fear of BaMaKey TP-III getting crap inside it and causing trouble, so I set out to find an alternative that might mean I can allay some of that fear.

Having read about the VK3IL pressure paddle, I realised this is probably the solution. I'm not really in a position to build my own, but saw through the SOTA reflector that Owen M0KVI was assembling and selling them via Tindie, and I had read very good things about his work. I dropped Owen a line, we had a chat, and I was sold on buying one from him through his Tindie. It arrived within just a couple of days of ordering, and I am so pleased to be able to confirm that the quality of construction is spot on, and the paddle is a delight to use. I was expecting to have to spend time getting used to it after using the TP-III; however, this was not the case for me - it was dead easy straight away.

If you're thinking about adding a pressure paddle to your arsenal, stop thinking now and just buy one of these!

Thank you Owen for making these available.

All the best, Pete M3KXZ

I recently placed my second order with Owen. I now own three pressure paddles. Owen’s service and shipping were excellent. If you’re looking for a set of paddles based on VK3IL CW Pressure Paddle, you will be pleased with Owen’s craftsmanship.

Great build and great service

For VK3IL CW Pressure Paddle V2

Owen did a great job building my key, and he was especially proactive in communication. The key is great and I would definitely buy from Owen again.

Fantastic compact touch-sensitive portable Morse paddle key

For VK3IL CW Pressure Paddle V2

This Morse dual-paddle key is compact, well-built and works like a charm. It's really lightweight so ideal for portable operations. The paddles are sensitive to the lightest touch and work flawlessly when tested with the K3NG keyer and iCOM IC-705 transceiver.

I purchased the fully assembled paddle key. It was shipped quickly, and arrived well packaged, protected in bubble-wrap.
