Morse code keys talk about themselves

Morse code key party. Using 22 different Morse keys to send a short message, each key get a turn. Very nice to use them all, don't often get the chance.
The code is slow, about 13 words per minute, as I'm not an expert and I found it a challenge switching from one key to another so quickly.
Hope you find some of the keys interesting.

Your thumb and finger make much distance when operating the paddles.

Yes, not the best bit of sending I've ever done!
I found it quite hard to get the key in shot and lite correctly, had to have my other arm around the camera tripod to hold the paddle still. Not the best position to send in. Some the keys hadn't been used in a long time and needed a lot of pressure to make a decent contact. Just thought it would be nice to use them all before they get sold off for our house move. Mike

@@mikeb1043 Well Mike it was most certainly no disaster. Now reading what I wrote seems harsh, it wasn't meant to be.

Which was the easiest (? most pleasant) to use?

[@mikeb1043]

Well the big brass, Kent straight key has a very nice feeling and is easy to use.
I preefer a paddle, so the 1950s, grey, Vibroplex twin paddle with an iambic keyer is great fun. But there several that are just as nice, it depends on what your doing I guess. Mike
