This keyboard does its best to work as an editing keyboard and conventional "typing" keyboard. As an editing keyboard (Da Vinci 18), it takes some getting used to. The online manual for the keyboard is on page 925 of the manual for reference. The keyboard itself is built well with a metal chassis and just about all the editing shortcuts needed to make quick work of post production projects. These are my experiences with the editing keyboard: 1. Ctrl-Alt-Del does function doesn't work; 2. There is a "Home" key but no "End" key; 3. The back space key is the "Delete" key, so no delete key where is would normally reside on a standard keyboard; 4. The "Shift" key on the righthand side of the keyboard is small and takes getting used to if you are also using this as your typing keyboard; 5. The arrow keys are squeezed in next to and under the small shift key area; 6. No backlighting on the keys; 7. The keyboard itself is built well and feels great to the touch; 8. The keys have a nice tactile feel to them and but again, they all feel sort of squeezed in and takes some getting used to; 9. The layout works for this keyboard understanding that compromises needed to be made in order to accommodate the large jog wheels and additional editing function keys which is why I got this keyboard to begin with. Most of these notes echo other reviewers comments so if you are seriously thinking of purchasing this editing keyboard, read all the Amazon reviews, do your homework and understand that you can't have the best of both worlds. This keyboards main function is to make your editing with Da Vinci Resolve easier, efficient, and enjoyable! Read more

Paint on the keys wears off very fast. Read more

As many have said its abit noisy. Do you need it? No. It is expensive. Reason for buying it was to make it more fun to edit videos - which it does. Especially the dial. Read more

Good fit within the Resolve workflow, adding speed and utility to the editing process. The keyboard has a good tactile feel and the weighted shuttle/jog wheel has a smooth and substantial operative feel. Controls are logically placed for two-handed operation. If you are using the Davinci Resolve Speed Editor be aware it is not exactly a 1-to-1 match. The handy “Split/Move” button is MIA. Split is, of course, a simple keyboard shortcut, while “Move” is not duplicated on the Editor Keyboard at all (at least as far as I’ve been able to determine :-). All keys are labeled with the corresponding “shortcut”. My only gripe is it is, necessarily/understandably, tiny print! So far the construction seems to be robust and it should be mechanically durable. With the inclusion of Davinci Resolve 18 Studio and the added utility of the keyboard, this is a good value (IMHO)!
