I found the MFJ version to be a little nicer, (physically) than the Bencher.
Almost identical but a significant less in money.

Sorry, Anthony.
Typing too fast - trying to get out the door for work. I meant BENCHER.
They
come with a black base (less expensive) and a chrome base (a little more).
I
have a single paddle one I really like. Email me and let's talk.
Need to know more about what you will be using it for - home, portable,
etc.
and what sort of money you want to spend, new/used. etc.

Anthony,
Depends a bunch on where you will be using it. From home, mobile,
portable -
that sort fo thing. I have 30 plus keys, straight and paddles, and the
Bebcher
is one of the besdt relatively inexpensive ones. Shurr's are great, but
more.
I have a $500 Long Island mercury I use daily. Tell em more about what you
want from a key.

by the way - I have had a ticket 25 years and absolutely love my FT-817.

Hi Group,
I would like some advice please. Seeing I have got this little gem
of a radio and wanting to make use of many of the features, I am
considerating on that mode, "CW". To take in consideration that I
know nothing about morse code "only enough to pass my exam" and I
have read a couple of posts that the 817's internal electronic keyer
is a bit slow between Tx and Rx, could some one out there who uses CW
most of the time with the 817 please let me know on how it performs
and what type of key or paddle do they use, "I am thinking about
buying a Vibroplex brass racer paddle only if I get some good
feedback about the 817 and it's CW capability's".
