This is the reason that I bought the MircroHam Keyer. Works with USB since
I don't have serial ports on my new computer. I works nice and sends CW
from the key the same speed that the computer sends it.

serial port keyin even via a USB port is unreliable when a machine gets

shut off all other applications and use log tools with bare minimum
