I have the Winkey 2 into which I plug a paddle and my PC for auto-keying in
contests, also sometimes keyboard sending through N1MM.
I also use an old AEA Morse Machine 3 with another paddle.

Treated myself to a Begali for Christmas, it is a truly beautiful piece of
engineering and a delight to use.

Matt,

Check out k1el.com

Like Alan, I have a k42 and love it. K1el sells these keyers as kits but I 
believe there is a list on his site of hams who will, for a small fee, build

it for you. There are a few folks on the list who use the winkey, another 
very popular k1el product. Good luck and 73. Lou WA3MIX
