So if your ideas are so great, why
aren't there any high end manufacturers which have keys or paddles with

or optical switches? If they are as good as you say, I would expect to
see
dozens of them on the market. Or maybe they know I'm right and you're
wrong.

Have you done a survey of all keys on the market? I haven't. Maybe I'll
patent the idea if no one is doing it.



This guy here sells optical keys.

Ah an ornamental morse tapper. The HK102 semi-automatic I got at
Galashiels, original box and paper work, didn't look as though it had
ever been used in anger. The settings seemed alll wrong. I've been
practicing with it for 3 weeks and keep forgetting I have to make my
own dahs. I'll never be as cool as DA.
