![]() Downright huge compared to the tiny regular iMac wireless “chicklet” keyboard. Very big compared to the standard Macintosh “chiclet” extended keyboard that ships with your Mac. The Resolve Editor Keyboard is very well built and feels like it will stand up to the test of time. As a size comparison, here’s my favorite keyboard of all time sitting on top of the Resolve Editor Keyboard. The ConstructionĪ keyboard is a very utilitarian tool, so to embrace a new keyboard fully takes a lot of work from an experienced editor as you’re so used to the feel of your existing keyboard. Is it successful? Read on below to find out. It’s made for the Editing and the Cut page. It’s not made for the Color page or the Fusion page or the Fairlight page. ![]() So what happens when you take the venerable keyboard and try to adapt that to editing in your NLE? That’s precisely what Blackmagic has done with the $995 DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard. I sure know that I’ve tried to adopt different tools for editing, but rarely are they more useful than a keyboard. Why have there not been more hardware things made just for the editor? Perhaps its seen that hardware tools really can’t add much to the editing experience beyond the keyboard and mouse. The Resolve Editor Keyboard ships in a box. Those more specialized markets would seem to have a smaller potential audience than editing, but “they” make controllers for them. ![]() But then again, we have seen a lot of hardware controllers for audio mixing and color correction. Hardware tools cost a lot of money to develop and manufacture, so it’s not surprising there haven’t been many editing-only hardware tools over the years. They don’t do anything to actually enhance the editing experience by providing new tools or new workflows. There are quite a few different editing keyboards from Logic and Editors Keys, but those are usually just conventional keyboards with different colored keycaps added. It was especially surprising to me as it’s not very often we see dedicated hardware built primarily for editing. It was quite a surprise to many, at NAB 2019, when Blackmagic Design introduced the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard.
