Jim:

Contact Phil Whitehouse (W1GEE).

His e-mail address is:

Phil makes a CW keyer that plugs into the straight key jack of an HF rig. 
The other end of the keyer has a serial port connection, but I have used it 
successfully with a serial to USB converter for years.

The keyer costs approx $30 if I remember correctly.

Perhaps Jim now makes one with a direct USB connection which, of course, 
would then make the serial to USB converter unnecessary.

Let me know how it goes if you do contact him.
