The Straight Key is the simplest and most iconic. It's range of speed generally goes only into the low 20 wpm's, but more if you're fast. There's just a lever, a knob, some springs and some contacts. The sending method requires more arm than wrist action and may be quite fatiguing, but the sound produced by this key can be the most personal.
The Side-Swiper, otherwise called a "Sidewinder," "Cootie" or "Double-Speed" key was the next obvious evolution and employs a piece of spring steel mounted sideways with redundant contacts facing each side. When the handle is gripped and moves the arm left or right a contact will be made. There is a special method of sending whereas you always start each character's first element off with a movement to the left, alternating direction on each element. You can easily reach speeds up to the 30 wpm's and is much, much less fatiguing to use than a straight key as the arm can rest on the table. They are easy to build at home, requiring an old hacksaw blade and a few pieces of hardware. The sound of a side-swiper comes across with a "heavy" weighting.
The "Bug," otherwise known as a Semi-Automatic key is still a very popular option, going back to the early 1900's and can still be purchased new today from companies like Vibroplex with very little variation from early models. It's generally the most mechanically complex of most keys with a side-actuated swing arm held in place by spring returns. Moving the arm to the left causes a contact to be made which is exactly the same as a straight key, but turned to the side. Dashes are made with that actuation and can be used to send code as a straight key if desired. Moving the arm in the rightward direction causes a weighted pendulum, comprising the back portion of the swing arm, to vibrate or oscillate against a spring-loaded contact point, which produced "automatically" repeating dots. Moving the pendulum weight or changing it will likewise change the oscillation speed of the dots. Sending speeds, by default, sit in the 30 wpm's and many hams can send into the 50's! However, many hams enjoy slower beginner speeds by adding weight. The sound of this key comes across as having a potentially "light" weight with tell-tail dashes of seemingly longer duration.
The Dual-Lever Paddle, otherwise called a "Squeeze Key" or "Iambic" paddle and came about around WWII with the advent of more advanced electronic keying circuits. Each paddle needs only move a very minimal distance [even the thickness of a piece of paper] to make contact and for this reason is the least fatiguing and most comfortable to use. Sending speeds can also be at blinding rates, even into the 80's, but because the two contacts actuate electronic timing, new senders especially like paddles as they can send perfect 'PARIS' code as slow as they wish! Pressing the Left paddle with the thumb generally actuates automatic dots and pressing the Right paddle with the index finger will actuate the dashes. "Squeezing" and holding them both down at the same time actuates an "iambic" action whereas each elements will alternate, generally with the first element, either dot or dash happening first depending on which key was held first. Iambic keying is not hard to master
The Single-Lever Paddle is implemented with the same setup as the dual-lever paddle, with each opposing press of the paddle swing arm actuating their associated contact. The only difference is that there is not squeeze keying so iambic-like timing is up to the keyer circuit. Many prefer this variation as it is more forgiving and less error prone to send over that of the dual-paddle and for that reason some of the high-speed code sending champions of the world use this key to send code at "plaid and ludicrous" speeds into the 100's of wpm's! The sender can also wire each of the two contacts together and use as a variation on of the side-swiper
