You’re not alone. My first experience with paddles was long after having used a ‘bug’.. Hence… … wobble wrist… I have never gotten even remotely adept at ‘squeeze keying’… Still screw stuff up with iambic etc. paddles/keyers. Nevertheless, I prefer paddles/keyer to a straight key at anything over about 15 wpm..

Have I been doing it wrong for years? Yes I have an Iambic paddle and of course the K3 offers Iambic choice BUT I NEVER USE IT. I don’t touch both paddles at the same time, my wrist rocks back and forth and I never squeeze the paddle. Seriously I am asking if I’m doing something wrong.
