The QRPer Board

I've been iterating for the past six months or so on an open-source 3D-printed single-paddle key, and I'm looking for feedback from more experienced CW ops. This key uses a 3d-printed spring, can be held in the opposite hand, strap-mounted to leg or anything that it can be strapped to, or desk mount...

I am a new ham just getting started. I've successfully activated on 10–15W SSB on my KX3 using a simple 5m vertical whip, with 1000+ miles on 10W, and 1600 mile DX on 15W. Definitely possible. But also, I have to be patient in pile-ups. ☺
