Review: Good Value - Nice item for my science experiment.
Review: A Very Nice Basic Key - I was looking for a CW key to add to my traveling QRP kit, and this little key for the bill! It’s not anything revolutionary, it just does the job nicely. Not a speed key, but for something that allows you to send dits and dahs, it’s great! Would be a good first key for someone who is just learning the code.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value
*by D***R on January 24, 2026*

Nice item for my science experiment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Very Nice Basic Key
*by A***Y on March 21, 2022*

I was looking for a CW key to add to my traveling QRP kit, and this little key for the bill! It’s not anything revolutionary, it just does the job nicely.

### ⭐⭐⭐ More detailed description needed - thought I would receive a complete set
*by C***S on June 12, 2024*

Maybe it's just the inexperienced person here who knew nothing of telegrams and needed one as a prop, but I was hoping I would get a complete working one that could be linked somehow - it's basically what you see in the photo and nothing else. Good and sturdy enough but you'll need to order other parts to get this working. Wish it were more clear before buying :( Still, a good piece that might benefit someone for experiments and all
