“MFJ recently announced two new Morse Code straight keys, the MFJ-566M with a metal base and the MFJ-566P with a plastic base. These small, 3D-printed keys are priced right (under US$30) and have a nice “feel” to them. I purchased the MFJ-566M and put it through its paces. I also compare it to a classic World War II-era J-38 straight key. CW is great. Welcome aboard!”
