The Editors Keys Wireless, Backlit, DaVinci Resolve keyboard is like a cheat sheet to building muscle memory and a better video editing experience. It’s one of the top keyboards specific for cutting and coloring in Resolve, but it also has some flaws. Here’s my review of the new shortcut keyboard.

Man, I really wish that Editors Keys or somebody could make custom printed keycaps with all of those legends for mechanical keyboards. Custom keyboards and keyboard skins like these have been helpful for me before with learning software like Avid, but I do want that mechanical feel with the mechanical keboard I already have, and without spending an arm and a leg for Resolve's dedicated full-size Editor Keyboard.

I used to use one of the EditorKeys wired keyboards a few years ago and it really helped me learn the keyboard shortcuts in DaVinci Resolve! Great video!

I just got the logitech MX keys you mentioned and it's sooo good. The feel, sound, layout, EVERYTHING. It's perfect. I used an apple keyboard for a couple years and hated it, can't believe the difference.

Great video Chad. . . Never been a keyboard shortcut user. Will do anything to avoid memorizing 100 diff. shortcuts but finally gave in and dropped $160 for the Editors Keys because of the full color keys. Thank you

Aha found it! Solid breakdown and great a new keyboard addiction unlocked 😅😂

@10:00 You must have an older Mac KB because mine with Touch ID purchased in 2024 has for buttons on the left: Fn - Control - Option - Command

[MaximoJoshua]

the macbook pro has 4 buttons to the left of the space bar...
fn, control, option, command

Nice video. I use the Editor Keyboard from Blackmagic. It's great but I wish it was backlit. I have to use usb lights over the keyboard to see as my muscle memory isn't honed in. Editors Keys makes some nice stuff.

For fusion or fair light you can create Hotkeys with raycast program, very useful + powerful program and not only for davinci

I have the editors key Davinci keyboard. It arrived bent so it wobbles when I use it, the bluetooth is unreliable and the keyboard goes to sleep/becomes unresponsive if you don't use it for a couple of minutes which is very annoying when editing with a mouse then going back to a keyboard. The escape key fell off on the 2nd use (but popped back in, but it is loose) and the top of the keys started to wear off.
Came back too it a few months ago, after giving up (I have to wedge something under the keyboard to stop it wobbling) and now 5 of the keys are unreadable and yesterday the keyboard just stopped communication with my PC. I would NOT recommend anything from editors keys....

Please do a tutorial on quick editing using keyboard when you have multiple layers and audio layers.

thanks for CTRL + L/K/J. didn't knew that.
I new about Selection follows playhead, but i don't use it, find it really disturbing in most of the cases.

Thanks for sharing.
Whatabout compares to the Logickeyboard Davinci Resolve Mac Astra Backlit ??

[DaysGabe]

Willing to share your opinion on the skin-type for MacBook keyboards vs this keyboard? I often travel and am limited to the MacBook's keyboard.

[JGorg]

What would you recommend if someone uses both PC (primarily) and Mac? Their website says it works with both, but they also have an option to select pc/mac

I don't know, if I'm paying north of a certain amount for a DR keyboard, I tend to gravitate towards the official one with some of the dedicated functions of the Speed Editor.
Admittedly, it even clickier than your Keychron.

Cmd+l doesn't do anything on my resolve 😶‍🌫️

Personally, I use low Profile neuphy 75 . And I love it. I use a well something like a Number pad On my left side.. I would say what it is but I don't recommend it.. lol . The big thing for me is I don't use the default key binds at least most of them or at least the main ones. When I was learning and figuring it out I put stickers all over my keyboard and I still have stickers for the ones that I have a harder time remembering. It is all color coded to remind me of what modifier key to use with it. It would be cool if they had a keyboard like this that was customizable somehow. I do really like my keyboard though I had to go through a lot of keyboards before I found one that I like as well as I like this one.

Sub 777 checking in with my two cents😅. I own one of those DR Editor Keyboards. After 2 years I had the command button Pop off. I'm trying a Logic Keyboard for Davinci Resolve now. This thing is built like a tank. The keys feel amazing. Yes it's a great way to speed up your editing along with the Replay Editor. Whenever I receive mines from backorder.😂
