Hmmmm...bad problem. Have you considered elective surgery to swap sides
with your arms? :-P
Sorry....couldn't resist.

I'd LOVE to order one but there is a Problem with them. I send left

have them separate. Arrrggghh! I considered getting one but I'd be
lifting it from one side of the rig to the other all the time so, I'll
stick with the Nye straight key on the right and Kent paddles on the
left.

You will be pleased with it. I was amazed at the low cost, and also
the prompt shipping.

During my search on the internet I found that Kent (which makes
excellent paddles I'm told) makes a combo unit exclusively for a
dealer in the UK called Waters & Stanton. Both the paddle and the key
mounted on a black base costs $98USD. I didn't think you could even
get just a Kent paddle for that amount of money. Both the paddle and
the key have ball bearing movements.
Quantities are limited so I went ahead and ordered one. I'll post a
quick note when I receive it.
Ditto here - I bought the combo unit last year mainly to get the
straight key, since I didn't have one anymore, and was surprised to find
that the dual paddles are really quite nice. The combo takes up a bit
of desk space because there are two keys on it, but both the paddles and
the straight key are very good, it's heavy and will not move around no
matter even if you like to slap the paddles or bang hard on the straight
key (I find I have to pick it up with both hands). The paddles &
straight key each have their own cords (with 1/4" connectors already
attached), so you could even use each to key a different rig if you
wanted to. Quite a deal at that price.
