How does the keyer paddle work?

We designed the KXPD1 specifically for the KX1. The precision spring-steel levers are fabricated to our specifications via photo-etching. When you press on them, they touch contacts on two similarly-sized PC boards. The levers are ideally tensioned, as well as protected, by silicone rubber grips, again custom-fabricated for this application. Finally, an extruded aluminum bar of the proper shape is machined to form a rugged bracket which retains the 1/8″ plug, PC boards, and levers. The paddle is angled at 45 degrees for ease of use. It’s physically reversible for left- or right-handed use, and is secured with a thumbscrew. The result is a paddle with a light touch that can be used with gloves on, requires no adjustment, is impervious to temperature changes, and weighs just one ounce.
