Dear good twin,
Not only are you ingenious and funny, you're also psychic.  You knew 
I was reading and you knew what I was thinking. The fact that there 
is no 'c' in my name also indicates you're not a perfectionist, or 
you don't read so good.

A friend who worked with me when I was at Manhattan School made up a 
few of these for us, though I'll admit yours seem somewhat more 
elegant.  And I don't still have them.

If I understand your question:

It seems like it would depend upon the length of the straight portion 
of the key stick for a particular model.  I must not be understanding 
the question.
Once you work out the bugs in the ones you make for Jon Page, I'll be 
interested too.
