Hi-Mound HK-709 High-Profile Straight Keys have a similar mechanism to the HK-706, HK-707, and HK-708 Low-Profiles models. However, this economy high-profile HK-709 model is mounted on a 3/4 inch high base and has a large “mushroom” type pump key knob instead of the small button knob used on the other models. This high-profile straight key type is typically used with the British style of sending CW, with the operators arm off the table. Instead of rubber feet, Hi-Mound keys utilize a clever rubber stripping around the bottom circumference of the base to keep them from moving on the table.
Founded in 1947, Japanese manufacturer Hi-Mound Electro Co., LTD produces a complete line of high quality, economy priced straight keys and iambic paddles.
