Want to EDIT FASTER? - DaVinci Resolve Editors Keyboard In-Depth Review BUYER'S GUIDE 

Plane, simple, quality. I love these tutorials, just so clean, and to the point. You guys are the best out there.

I would like a series for this keyboard. by showing what each key can do...even if they are labeled, not everything is self-explanatory

Thanks. I have been on the fence about the keyboard but just ordered one after watching the video. As always, your videos are very helpful, well thought out and well executed on point and no water time.

I've been using it since they delivered it right after NAB 2019... and it just brings so much quality and professionalism to the editing process. It reflects the feeling of editing on a CMX tape to tape controller... walking through your footage on a jog/scroll knob on hardware that's strong and reliable. I personally haven't had any issues or regrets with the financial investment. All of the keys can be popped out & then air can/brush cleaning the dust & tidbits from the connections. Great job on walking through the features of the keyboard...

🎉 this is such an amazingly wall crafted channel with meticulously created videos. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Natalie, for another wonderful tutorial, very well produced and delivered. (I know it's not easy to edit then reupload one of your videos - the URL changes - but you may want to know that at 4:21, the word "Studio" is written as "Studo".) All the best, looking forward to the next episode.

Dear Natalie and Leon, I learn so much from your videos, they make me think and reevaluate my approach to DaVinci Resolve and editing in general. The quality of your productions brings me a joyful experience that keeps on giving. Thank you! Jean-Francois

I've got a speed editor, but am thinking of switching to one of these... great video!

Very excited for a v2, could really benefit from a backlight and quieter keys. Plus, damn I would love some custom keys that can be configured while keeping the original keys as is.

Great video as usual!

6:18 I have this exact monitor/keyboard/mouse setup. Year 1 usage update: One thing I did not like about the keyboard is a thick cable that it came with, so I used the one Apple sells, yes it's 100$ but it has to be high bandwidth, in my experience low bandwidth cables can't seem to drive the usb ports. Built-in USB ports are great for plugging in a mouse and are great for running edits from SSD drives. From my research and from what I see on my unit, the switches are replaceable and are not soldered to the board and are 'MX cherry' brand. One last thing - the rubberized finish on the palm rest shows a tiny bit of wear after a year of use, and keys used the most are shiny'ish.

Fantastic review. Looking forward to this keyboard making video editing easier. I like taking aviation videos but hate the Premier Pro process.

I really appreciate you making this video. I didn't know how much capability these had. I just thought is was a simple branded input device. The big plus for me is the License to Resolve Studio because I am currently on the free version. Thank you again!

Loved this review! I was actually looking for a dedicated review on this keyboard from your channel ❤️🤌🏻

Very interesting. Great review on it. Thanks T2F. I'm always into a valuable adjustment to workflow efficiency, especially with input devices. I've modified a lot of my keyboard shortcut functions to use with a midi device, and just for more efficient use of my regular keyboard. I assume these changes won't affect dedicated-button functions on the editor keyboard?

Hi Team 2 Films, Firstly, again another brillantly produced overview and explanation and you guys are one of the few with depth. You guys are in a master class of your own with the knowlege and clarity you have and share. Secondly, I have had the Blackmagic keyboard since it was released and can not operator with out it, But I have looked for a "comprehensive training course on all the functionality, keys and skills it offers" as we have several junior editors who want to upskill?

I'm very happy with my editor keyboard. Will be great to have an in depth tutorial on how to best use all the functionality.

Charming mentor😍😍😍

I keep thinking about whether I should get the Keyobard. But I'm not sure. For example, I haven't been able to figure out if - and if so, how easily - you can put effects on clips, drop an adjustment clip, adjust it in the layers, navigate in the inspector and adjust the sliders and controls. These are all things that are very important for my everyday editor because I use them all the time.

I have the speed editor and use it sometimes. I am sure though I would use it more if it had customisable keys especially the camera ones which I never use for the work I do.

I got the editors keyboard and I like it a lot. I have a lot to learn on how to use it and I just started my editing journey with Davinci Resolve. Can you do more videos on how to use the editors keyboard?

Thank you for this review. I just subscribed to your channel as your videos are really informative! Can I ask what grading monitor are you using? Thank you. Nico

Is there a full tutorial on how to use the keyboard? like moving clips using keyboard...etc. thanks in advance

I think that I would like this. Not being able to customize the shortcuts is a big downer for me...

Great review. Dealbreaker for me with the keyboard we're non registering keystrokes. It was unusable for any regular work such as typing an email.

Hi, I had a question, Is it possible to customize the extra keys and the wheel that comes with this keyboard for other software? for example blender o krita

I would love to sse this keyboard in action in Edit mode (some would call it a tutorial). I own the Speed Editor and am thinking of a switch being that a lot of the Speed Editor's features do not work in edit mode.

If i recess it, will those 3 connectors on the backside and if there are any on the sides, be usable? can i use them if i recess the keyboard? it seems very tight

For fulltime Resolve editors, it's so worth it. The speed editor is nice (especially for on the road) but the layout is much better on the full keyboard version.

I have one question about purchasing license for DaVinci Resolve Studio ... So, if I purchase a license for lets say "DaVinci Resolve Studio" today, how many updates do I get or do I have to pay for any new update (and if so, how much approximately) ? Thank You

Would the speed editor with a stream deck provide the same functionality as this keyboard?

Hey! How's it going?! I have a big question, every time I press In to put a marker, DR inserts the marker exactly where my playhead is, but when I mark the Out, the marker is done one frame after the playhead, is there any way to correct that? I think it was working properly before and I don't know what I pressed to change it (or I just never realized it was like that since the beginning hahaha). Thanks a lot!!!

Are the switches hot-swappable? That way one can change to quieter switches.

I am learning to speed edit on the go with my Wacom and built in keyboard. I don't miss no keyboard...

I edit mainly in Resolve, but depending on the client's workflow I also work in Premiere and Avid. Still hoping someone comes up with a hack to get it to work (other than just keyboard shortcuts) in other NLEs....

Could you choose between this and the new micro color panel if you had to pick one? I know they are quite different!

Nice shirt!

I own one but it drives me nuts so I gave it to someone else to use. The arrow keys location is annoying and makes a smaller right shift and removed function keys, the FN key causes control to be moved. No separate backspace and delete key. Basically if the main keys were setup like a standard win/ibm keyboard it would be perfect.

Definitely a nice controller. But its size is a real-estate hog, given in my circumstances I already have controllers of one sort or another from Presonus, Arturia, Korg, Akai, Wacom, ShuttlePro, Logitech MX keyboard & mouse, monitors & near field 100w RMS audio monitors to contend for space on my desk. The bonus Resolve software does make it a great deal.

It is so great that Saoirse Ronan teaches us to use Resolve.

Deal-breaker for me: No Backlit Keys. I can't imagine why BMD left backlighting out since most of us use these in dark rooms. Otherwise perfect.

Do I have to buy speed editor if I only buy Editors Keyboard? Will Editors Keyboard be enough without speed editor?

Is it available to download?

This thing is worth the price for the Studio program alone

I just wish they would offer an AZERTY keyboard for people that don’t use QWERTY :/

what you didnt mentioned is, this is particularly meant more for CUT page not EDIT page. when going into EDIT page, the keyboard more or less are not worth it.

The only deal breaker for me is the money even my computer isn't 600 dollars i am a student and very passionate about editing i have learnt DAVINCHI RESOLVE very much but have no Idea were to start working professionally😂😂

@4:26 Yeah, get me one of those great Resole Studo licenses!

Ok, this is gonna make me spend more money....

Overpriced for shure!

@4:25 someone really needs to check spelling…

If this keyboard had hot swappable switches so I could customize how the keys feel and sound, there would be nothing stopping me from buying this keyboard
