Hmmm, interesting you should say that Lou,
I was totally the opposite, got frustrated with the key, so switched over to
the paddles. Hi hi

And, then there are folks like myself who just never could get the paddles
to work for them.  I can use a straight key just fine, and the keyboard
keyer works well for me, but I ran a keyer with paddles for about six
months, had nothing but frustration with it, and finally took it to a
hamfest and sold it.

Not everything works the same way for everybody.  It's nice that there are
alternatives for sending CW.
