For CW operation I built a lighweight keyer paddle using the Allan Bloom's, N1AL desing available in the June 2009 QST magazine. This is very easy to build and inexpensive since only aluminium sheet and a pair of switches (0.25€ each) are needed. The author recomends 1.27mm aluminium but I used 0.8mm because I had from other projects. This thinner material makes less rugged contruction but it is ok for me. The author provides the drawing pattern so I printed to a self-adhesive printer paper applied then to the sheet and finally the material is cut with a hacksaw. Result is as follow pictures with the drawing pattern yet not removed:
