The weight is a ratio control. I suppose we could say it 
needs "enhanced" so it becomes a weight control. :-)

Even the speed does not interface right with the Winkey so 
it needs some work. It looks like a very minimal "get it out 
the door" keying interface to me.

 I would have initially, before I spent $600 on keyers. It 
would have been cheaper for me to buy them a Winkeyer to 
keep. I'm at my limit now for spending money trying to work 
around a marginal software design for CW.
