Cute little Vibroplex

That 'Cube' isn't small by any means. It is nice though, won't go scooting across a desk even if you are a little heavy handed. If you do make it scoot across a desk you need to learn how to use a set of paddles.
Compare it to a Bencher and it's at least comparable. Nothing wrong with a Bencher either, I've used several over the years. Also the old Vibropex paddles. Now there was a 'clunky' key. Oh well, it was the standard of it's day.

(and anybody who'd pay that much for a 'Bengali' is crazy)

I have 2 older Vibroplex paddles. I mostly use an older set of Chinese Army surplus paddles for daily use, think I have $35 invested.
Don't really care for any of the Bengali line.

I think I've been through a couple of the Vibroplex 'bugs', and sort of graduated to a keyer (just got lazy). Until the 'Cube' came out (this year?) I stuck with Benchers, wore one smooth out, actually just broke the thing. Have a second one I used till I got that 'Cube'. The transition isn't completely easy, but I like it. Ordered the base of the line model but was sent the one with jewel bearings.
I do know that Bencher is very good about supplying parts! Ordered a couple of insulators for one of the posts, and they sent them free.
Enough, it's starting to get too long.

FWIW... Changed my mind.
Seems that 10 months after I bought the 'cube' the vertical bars holding the paddle levers have rusted. I don't particularly care about the 'looks', but that rusting also affects the movement of those paddles, makes them 'sticky'. Emailed Vibroplex about this, and was told that those 'bars' are not stainless as I thought, but just plain iron. No explanation/solution for the rusting parts. No offer to correct same. NOT a happy camper. Anyone wanna buy a slightly rusty VibroCube??

I'm afraid I got a better offer. Vibroplex offered a 100% refund. Minus what ever the shipping would be deducted from the original price ought'a cover it though. I doubt if you'll think that's a very good deal. (It's the base/standard model.)

When I read 'cute little vibroplex' I am not going to lie something dirty popped in my head... I thought it was one of those toys you buy at the adult not allowed on broadcast TV stores... I know, I know, I need to get my mind out of the gutter... I am trying
