Standalone three-button add-on (incl. 3D-printed case). For Basic/Advanced/DIY – not Vail Lite. If ordering an adapter too, choose the Button Add On option on that listing instead. Note: even the Assembled option still requires soldering the button board onto your adapter.

It ships in a 3D-printed case sized for your adapter — pick the one you’re pairing it with.

Description

Button Add On – three-button add-on for computer-free settings control and CW memory record/playback. Comes in a 3D-printed case. Compatible with Vail Basic, Advanced, and DIY builds. Not compatible with Vail Lite.

Soldering required: Even the Assembled option still has to be soldered onto your Vail adapter board. It is not solderless. Please make sure you are comfortable soldering (or are building your adapter DIY) before ordering.

Buying a Vail adapter on the same order? Don’t add the Button Add On separately here – instead choose Button Add On: Yes on the adapter’s product page. It ships pre-fitted and works out cheaper.

  • Speed (5–40 WPM), sidetone (42 tones), key-type select
  • 3 CW memory slots (25s each), record/playback

Assembled $11 · DIY Kit $10. Free shipping included.
