Key for mobile CW?

Looking for suggestions for a paddle key that can be strapped to my leg for short activations when mobile (parked up). Current use of a handheld paddle is OK, but I would prefer something "fixed"
Grateful for any/all suggestions.

Lots of great options available. I really like the Bamatech TP-III with that specific application in mind, but you could make just about any portable paddle work.

Leg strap that works well with the TP-III

I also have dual lock on the CW Morse/N0SA SP4 paddle and it works with a homemade leg strap for a lot less invested.

Both are magnet paddles and have worked well for me.

you may consider picking a so called "pilot kneeboard"

and adapting it to host a paddle, the combo will also host your logbook and pen/pencil
