- The first is a Czech Military key, smooth quiet action. The second is the popular HK708 by HiMound, a solid key and favoured by many. The third is the Kent Brass 'Hand Key'. Lovely action and easy to use. Available as a kit or built.
As you can tell, I'm a big advocate of straight keys. I am a member of Fists, the international Morse preservation society and the SKCC, the Straight Key Century Club.

Good job, my favorite are the Kent Brass and the Czech Military. Thanks for video
Damn never even knew there was a niche about morse code thingies at all, but seems that you’re good at it! 👍
I found the Kent key has a heavy bar which, amazingly, slows down the action due to its inertia. Also we were taught not to use the fingers for sending but the wrist. But a great video. 73
Really good SK cw! I have the Czech key and surprisingly good it is too. I also have a Kent but mine is on the steel base and it gives it a very different feel. You have a great fist. I better get practising!
All these folks who thought they needed a fidget device they should have learned morse code and bought a morse key '=)
Excellent I use Kent with steel base and a few others from time to time GM4NNC
The Czech key was my first one. And then tried many others (Junker, J-38, Begali Spark, BaMa, just to mention some) Czech Military key will be my favourite. Fastest, less mistakes, well YMWV
Nice video. I want that Kent!!
In case of to send the long
MSG n long time. It is better using the wrist and fingers tip and feeling the
sense of the short code, long code and intervals.
Hele, česká věcička! :-)
Skill level with pump--better than mine. Maybe 15 -17 on a good day.
I have a couple of Russian keys, a J38, and two Clansman - one leg key and a bench version.
Be nice to use them sometime.
Wow :D Good straight keys
Seems closer to 25wpm with the Kent
Very impressed with Czech key...nice action. Like the High Mound but still can't get used to the height of the key. Do other Czech users rest your forearm on table or not?
Nice fist
Nice fist! What weather station is that on your desk?
Nice looking keys all of them. I love the looks and build of the Kent key. but sadly I don't think he makes them anymore? not sure. nice fist also easy cpy. I can get 20-24 on a hand pump, on a gud day. (but there aren't many of them! ha ha) tnx fer the video and tnx fer shring. 73 es gud dx de Ellis WA1RKS
I feel like i'm listening to a Happy Gilmore swear session
Hi, in doing my research of straight keys I found your video and the Kent is interesting to me (beginner here). I came across an online review in which the person had posted a video of his Kent in use, and there was noticeable clacking - that is not appealing to me. After watching h your video, however, I heard no clacking. Could you offer insight as to why one might clack and the other doesn’t? Could it be the change in ownership of the company? I want to make sure my first purchase is of a good straight key. Thank you!
Hi MW. Thanks for the question. The ‘clacking’ you hear is from a wider gap in the contact. A closer gap and you get reduced noise. 73 and good luck in your search.
@@PeteSobye Thank you, Pete! 73
Anyone remember the good old hack saw blade keyers?
Was the Kent a John Wellings key?
Good signaling!
What was that all about!
What do you mean?
The keys are great but your fist is better, N2SN
Djent as fuck.
