I don't have a problem, I can stop buying keys anytime I want. Bought a new paddle, aluminum with steel plate. Much better than the plastic key from cwmorse.us. I love the feel of the metal paddle and the travel is good. Strong magnets underneath the paddle keep it firmly attached to the plate. I'm going to have to find something to keep the plate from traveling though. I highly recommend.

One of the most active U.S. hunters Gary helped me break in the today. This key is smooth, just the right torque, shifts easily, rugged, no adjustments needed. I just fasten my seatbelt & off I went. Couldn't tighten down knee board to bike rack but even on my thigh, key was stable & despite the cold sending was easy. Not sure I'd recommend for new operators but experienced BAM!

Got this mini sturdy key. Going to take it for a activation test ride tomorrow before Tuesday's rain/snow mix. 9 volt battery for scale
