Check out these five gadgets that offer shortcuts you never thought were possible.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Cover image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/en-us\/product\/craft\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Logitech<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When you first start editing, it&#8217;s easy to\u00a0advance from a beginner to an intermediate editor with enough practice\u00a0and a bit of patience. Becoming an advanced editor, though, is a tougher climb, and it&#8217;s all about saving time. Once you&#8217;ve got the lay of the land in your NLE of choice, the next step is memorizing shortcuts. Editing accessories that\u00a0allow you to map keyboard shortcuts \u2014 so you can click three buttons to make a quick cut \u2014 are a big help in this process. Here are our current favorite gadgets that will speed up and simplify your edit.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"1-logitech-triathlon-m720\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/en-us\/product\/m720-triathlon\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">1.

With eight programmable buttons and a sleek feel, the Triathlon feels like a conventional mouse, but\u00a0it has a heck of a lot more options. This mouse comes with the Logitech Options application, which allows you to program buttons to specific programs \u2014 and even create mouse gestures to perform tasks.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"2-contour-design-shuttlepro-v2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.contourdesign.com\/product\/shuttlepro-v2\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">2.
