The Vail Lite uses a USB-A form factor with a built-in TRRS jack and piezo buzzer. It supports both keyboard and MIDI modes, so it works with vailmorse.com and other web-based CW tools. No case or extra hardware needed — just plug it into a USB port.

It doesn't have an audio output jack, radio keying, or capacitive touch — for those, look at the Basic or Advanced models.
