<p>Here is one way that I was able to key using a wireless mouse as an iambic paddle with the 2 mouse buttons. <a href="http://morse-rss-news.sourceforge.net/keyerdoc/keyer.html" target="_blank">Morse Keyer</a> is an excellent free program to use for this and now has Raised Cosine edges with adjustable rise and fall times, pitch, volume, and sound card selection.

<p>Here is one way that I was able to key using a wireless mouse as an iambic paddle with the 2 mouse buttons. <a href="http://morse-rss-news.sourceforge.net/keyerdoc/keyer.html" target="_blank">Morse Keyer</a> is an excellent free program to use for this and now has Raised Cosine edges with adjustable rise and fall times, pitch, volume, and sound card selection. Many thanks to Bob ! for his fantastic design ! I use the LAPTOP touchpad to place the mouse cursor in the MOUSE KEYING AREA...then use this wireless mouse as an iambic paddle, you can even hold this up in the air to key...you have to make sure - not to move the mouse if you place it on a table so it does not move the cursor out of the blue square. Also, you can use a spare mouse and solder wires to the two mouse switches and ground and hook your own iambic paddles or straight key up to this program.</p>

<p>Due to the excellent low latency and high performance of <a href="http://www.ceaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=137" target="_blank">BREAKAWAY LIVE</a> , I was</p>
<p>able to use an all software solution for sending CW via <a href="http://morse-rss-news.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">Morse Keyer</a> and <a href="http://www.w1hkj.com/Fldigi.html" target="_blank">FLdigi</a> over <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/icwoip/" target="_blank">iCW</a> on <a href="http://mumble.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">Mumble</a> .</p>
<p>Using Breakaway's virtual audio cable to route the audio output from Morse Keyer, I am able to send</p>
<p>Morse Keyer's CW audio output both to my soundcard for monitoring the Morse Keyer sidetone, and</p>
<p>over to the Mumble input, to transmit the Morse Keyer's cw audio tones to the iCW server and then</p>
<p>into the icom audio derived cw keying circuit. With Breakaway's ability to use <a href="http://www.asio4all.com/" target="_blank">ASIO4ALL</a> to provide</p>
<p>low latency monitoring, I was able to use my wireless mouse as an iambic paddle using the mouse</p>
<p>buttons. This setup also allows the use of any other cw sending software to be running at the same</p>
<p>time so you can send with the mouse keyer or by FLdigi or any other cw sending programs.</p>
<p>I mostly use FLdigi for sending cw at qrq speeds, but it is fun to use the mouse keying function of</p>
<p>Morse Keyer too. I use my wireless mouse for an easy, ready to go, setup but you can also plug</p>
<p>your own paddles into a "spare" mouse by opening up the mouse and soldering wires onto the two</p>
<p>"hot leads" of the mouse buttons and a ground wire. Here is a picture of my laptop desktop setup</p>
