For those of you that may have something like Begali, how did you find the right key for you and buy it.. did you try them out?

You really do need to try a key, because once you get away from the cheaper keys, personal preferences are highly important. For example, the distance between the fingerpieces varies, and some are adjustable and others not. Personally I like them wide. Others prefer them much closer together.

I happen to like a very 'stiff' key, one with very little flex in the fingerpieces and arm. So for me, the Begali Classic/Pro/Signature models or the Kent are good in this respect, because the fingerpieces are stiff and the pivot is close to them. The Profi or the Hex Key, on the other hand, are fine keys, but not as stiff. I've even replaced the stock fingerpieces on a Bencher BY-1 with smaller ones made of thicker plastic to stiffen it.

So my advice is, don't take any advice on what key is better! You really should try as many keys as you can.
