I have also used a real outboard Winkey connected to a USB port of the computer, and used that to key the RR box. I had to build a cable to attach to the RR box, but it wasn't difficult to do. Then I had the best of both worlds- it ran quite well.
My contesting experiences using the RR Winkey have not been as bad as yours. I've had several hours with rate >150 on CW. You can't do that if you have many fills. I'm also fortunate that both ends of my connection use broadband.
FYI, where is your remote station?
