While I love the simplicity of this idea, the only concern I would have for myself if it is directly plugged in to any board-mounted elecraft key jack is that the jack is not designed for constant pushing back abnd forth and will likely cause premature failure of the board and/or jack.
NOTE: Elecraft addressed this with their KXPD1 by including a mounting screw for stability and load distribution. I do, however, like the idea of the hand-held 1/4" plug/paddle in the extension cable at the top of their page.
