  1. I embarked on sharing my CWMouse Iambic Paddle with others a year ago. I finalized the design, manufactured 100 units and sold all of them during 2025. The reviews on ebay, eham and amazon are overwhelmingly positive.

    ...

    The production of the original CWMouse is coming to an end. I have enough components to build at most half a dozen more units in PETG.

    ...

    After that, I’m switching to uCWMouse.

  2. I was asked by @saahbs , who developed the #CWMouse paddle to take his CW Mouse QRP Labs QCX / QMX Minis NEW COVER for a test drive. I've made it part of my minimal #QRP setup with my #QCX Mini. I like to call it THE COVER 2 for QCX Mini. It is rugged, made from quality 3D printed material with magnets that give a tight fit to the top of the QCX/QMX QRP Labs case that converts to a steady stand. Here are a few pictures More to come in BLOG review in a few days. See it cwmouse.com/

  4. @saahbs Just wanted to pass along the #cwmouse CW #morsecode paddle has held up during this summer's heat in the U.S.. Although most of my portable operating is before 1600 UTC, it has performed flawlessly over the past year. I'm quite aware of using any 3D printed materials in excessive heat environments. Without question it's become my favorite paddle; right out of the box. No adjustments.

  6. CWMouse is printed in PLA material. Since mid-2025, I’ve been including in packaging a note with storage temperatures reminder.

    PLA softens at 140F, which is easily exceeded in a locked vehicle (or Pelican case) in direct sun on a hot summer day.

    ...

    One of my customers left his CWMouse inside a an RV on a hot 100F summer day and found it twisted and no longer functioning as the storage temperature was exceeded.

  7. I’m still producing CWMouse Iambic Keys based on mouse micro-switches and pivots supported by four ball bearing for exceptional precision and smoothness.

    The process of on-boarding Amazon took much more time and patience than anticipated, and almost two months!!
