Philip,
 
The website says their model P1W, with built in keyer, will only key
positive voltage transistorized transceivers. However, if you already have a
keyer that works with your Drake, you should be able to use their model
P1PADW paddles with your keyer. This model acts as paddles only and not a
keyer. 
 
As for reviews,  their website has a link to eHam for user reviews of their
products. I'd like to try one myself.

Does anyone know if the TouchPaddle.com keyers will work with Drake tube
transceivers?  Are these keyers worth their cost in quality and endurance?
Thank you.

I believe the manual for the keyers can be downloaded from their website - that 
should address the voltage/current limits and then you'll able to tell whether 
or not it's safe to use with the Drakes.  The issue with these keyers is not 
their quality or endurance, but rather your ability to adapt to the keyer.  I 
got to the point with one where I could send fairly well, but it was then very 
difficult to move back and forth between the touch paddle and a normal paddle.  
If you decided to never again use a regular paddle, perhaps you could adapt to 
the touch keyer and do well with it.  I ended up selling mine.

Download manual on-line to research your concerns. I never bought one 
but have used them.
I find the faster you send, the easier (and more fun) it is to use. The 
darn things are just perfect sending machines.
