I found Iambic keying wonderful to use. I stopped only because it *ruined* my 
fist for a bug, Hi! 

To make a "C" you just squeeze both paddles with the dash paddle closing 
slightly ahead of the dot.

To make a "Q" you just hold the dash paddle and tap the dot paddle at any time 
during the second dash.

Press the dash paddle and immediately tap the dot, and you get a "K".

And so on. Very simple finger movements. Minimal timing demands on the 
operator. 

But it does take a little practice. 

And some operators aren't interested in doing that. 

That's fine, but it doesn't mean that Iambic keying isn't a *great* way to 
produce CW for those who enjoy it.
