Would it still work for you if you used your paddle directly into the K3 paddle input and pc into the key input, then the programs would still key directly? I'm wondering if you would want to change the PTT, lead-in and tail features on the fly, ie could these all be programmed in config?

I use the microHam CW keyer with my K2 and K3
for a couple of reasons.  The two logging programs
that I use (DXBase 2007, and N1MM) work nicely
with the K1EL WinKey chip in the microHam.

The WinKey is very versatile, allowing one to key
the rigs from the computer keyboard, paddles, an
external numeric keypad, or icons provided by the
logging program.  It also provides a programmable
PTT signal with lead-in and tail delays for keying
an amplifier.
