K1EL makes two CW only keyer kits ... the original WinKey
is an RS-232 interfaced keyer and the newer WinKey USB is
a USB interfaced device with updated keyer. Neither of
the K1EL devices provide radio control (CAT) or soundcard
interfaces.
The microHAM interfaces provide a USB interfaced K1EL keyer
plus radio control (CAT) and soundcard interface in a single
box. The newest microHAM interface will include USB sound,
K1EL keyer plus additional interface/control capability.
