So this little straight key is the perfect balance of weight, motion and finish for a "pocket sized" straight key. I like the paint finish, it feels nice and does not get slippery with finger oils. I was unsure of the magnetic design versus, let's say a spring, but the magnet was responsive and allows for a nice crisp snap up and down of the key. Really nice for the price. I'm new so it's important to me to get quality but not spend an arm and a leg for something I may not love, I can say I took a gamble, but it wasn't a gamble and in do love it! This is a quality putikeeg product. I would definitely buy again or try their other products. See my micro paddle review, they (putikeeg) really makes a nice product! They are 2 for 2 with me and I'd definitely recommend them to any the new hams learning morse code.
