Stumbled upon a nice looking KXX* CW key port adapter. Does anyone know if you can get these in Europe, or anything similar? Even a 3D print version perhaps?
Thanks all.

Or be a real radio amateur and make your own for coppers.
Good idea! What is the little connector the KX2 uses?
EDIT: Never mind. Looks like this?
Need to check the pin wiring and then get a barrel pigtail and that should be that.
I’m beginning to think you’re some kind of Agentic chatbot system designed to pick the obvious solution to a problem and ignore it. You make a Y cable like the thing Amazon sells, 1x 3.5mm stereo plug, 2x 3.5mm stereo sockets, some wire. 10min job.
If you must use the difficult to use connector this is what you need, plus some veroboard and more wire.

There’s a 3.5mm stereo socket on the left side panel of my kx3. I plug a stock standard 3.5mm stereo cable into that and the other end of the cable plugs into the back of any of my paddles. The paddle on the front of the radio is in the wrong place, I use my right hand with the paddle. The idea of using a fragile specialised connector for the paddle is just puzzling to me.
Edit: the centre of the front panel is equally inconvenient to left and right-handed ops. So they achieved equity on that score…
