I also use the WinKey USB with my K3 and it works flawlessly!

I did the same thing after having the same problem and have to agree the
WInkey USB is (so far) flawless.
But I really would like to know how Tom avoids the issue directly keying
the radio, especially for portable ops.
Operating under W8.1 with direct keying I had about everything that could
be shutdown, shutdown, and still hit the 30 WPM wall without the WInkeyer.

I've used a Winkey USB for about four years now. Perfect code. I don't
have to worry about the PC getting busy and screwing up the CW sent with
serial lines.

Right after the CW SS I composed a message for the list, then trashed it
after sleeping on it which I always do before posting. Now that the issue
has come up on its own I wish to make an observation.
During the contest I heard many stations with shortened dits. They
sounded pretty bad and I reckon they weren't listening to themselves else
they'd
have done something about it.
Presuming that some of these signals were coming out of K3's [because
some of these were well-known contesters] I actually got nervous and
checked
my own signal which, like Tom's, is generated by N1MM+ keying the K3
through DTR, but was relieved to find that my dits were okay.
So there's something going on out there, and I don't know what it is,
but what I do know is that keying through the USB-to-Serial is proven to
work
well as Tom has verified. He should know; he is a very QRQ CW op.
