Lol I'm sure it won't. At the moment all I have are paddles but will give it a shot with a relay.

Get your J38 out and go to town.. I'd use a relay (like any of the 10A,
120V surplus relays around, if only because having line voltage on the
exposed chassis of the key would make me nervous.
It's not like you're going to be hammering out 45 wpm, so the few
milliseconds for the relay won't even be noticeable.
I don't think CW skimmer will decode your signals, though<grin>
