I\u2019ll get that out the way before we begin. I won\u2019t be comparing it to the editing keyboards of yesterday, or how it stacks up against other keyboards engineered for rival NLEs. I\u2019ll be coming at this review from the following perspectives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does this keyboard improve my DaVinci Resolve editing?<\/li>\n<li>Would I recommend this keyboard to those who have never used one before.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s discuss design, construction, and what\u2019s in the box.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>As with all Blackmagic peripherals, this unit is robust. It\u2019s made from premium metal and weighs just under 2.5KG. This is a significant increase compared to a plastic Logic keyboard. And, while I wouldn\u2019t suggest dropping it, it does feel like it could take a few dings. Regarding size, this is no small keyboard (58.5 x 23.5cm). In fact, I can&#8217;t fit the Resolve keyboard in my keyboard desk holder without removing the mouse. Keyboards usually lay flat and only offer a tilted profile when you extend the keyboard legs. However, the Resolve keyboard is already raised, providing a further extension when accessing the keyboard legs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_123922\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123922\" class=\"wp-image-123922 size-full\" title=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard Amenities \" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard Amenities \" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Rear.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This keyboard features three ports &#8211; two USB-A and one USB-C.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On the rear of the unit are three ports \u2014 two USB-A and one USB-C \u2014 allowing you to connect a mouse if you\u2019re using the keyboard away from your workspace, or even the Resolve studio dongle. The keyboard doesn&#8217;t come with a Resolve studio license like a camera. However, one could argue that, well, if you\u2019re buying a $1000 editing keyboard, it\u2019s likely that you already own the premium version of the software. There\u2019s one USB-C to USB-C cable included, but if your PC only has USB ports, you&#8217;ll need to use a USB-C to USB-A cable, which isn\u2019t included.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"using-the-keyboard\">Using the Keyboard<\/h3>\n<p>When you move to any new keyboard, there\u2019s a sense of unfamiliarity. The keyboard, for many, is a daily extension, and the slight difference in key placement, key size, or just the feel of the key can provoke a sense of the unknown. If, like me, you use an ergonomic keyboard, anything remotely different feels like learning to type all over again. Therefore, during two-week period when I used the keyboard, I was unable to take full advantage of how the keyboard would increase your proficiency, but its effectiveness was undoubtedly prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>Quite like Resolve\u2019s interface, you could say the keyboard divides into working areas that correspond to the various panels.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_123926\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123926\" class=\"wp-image-123926 size-full\" title=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Keyboard-Split.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123926\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The various panels provide work areas with multiple sections and arrangements.<\/p><\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Editorial tools, trimming tools, and transition tools are on the left.<\/li>\n<li>Function keys, as usual, are on the top of the keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>Labeled character keys are in the center.<\/li>\n<li>Data control are to the right.<\/li>\n<li>And the selling point of the keyboard on the far-right \u2014 the search dial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s get the character keys out of the way, as there\u2019s not a lot regarding the functionality of the area. It is, after all, a set of standard keys with labels.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_123923\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123923\" class=\"wp-image-123923 size-full\" title=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Centre-Keys.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The color-coded identifying labels help delineate individual functions.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, the identifying labels are easy to spot and color-coded for specific operations \u2014 for example, green for clip and timeline movement. Unlike the Blackmagic Micro Panel, none of the keys are backlit (the CAPS LOCK button does have a red LED indication). The keys themselves, as noted by Blackmagic, are &#8220;The same type used by eSports keyboards and each key is certified for over a million operations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Which means you don\u2019t have to fully press the key all the way down for the action to register.<\/p>\n<p>The main selling points, and where the keyboard really comes into its own, are the utility buttons that surround the typing area \u2014 the keys that reduce a few mouse clicks into a single button press.<\/p>\n<p>On the left-hand side of the keyboard, we have the editorial tools, trimming tools, and transition tools. These keys are primarily for use in conjunction with the search dial. For example, you&#8217;d find your in-point with the search dial, select the <strong>IN<\/strong> key, use the search dial to jog or scroll right, press the <strong>OUT<\/strong> key, then insert or append the footage to your timeline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Or<em> &#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By making use of intuitive trimming controls, you could hit <strong>TRIM IN<\/strong> (keeping the key pressed), this jumps you to the nearest edit point. You can, then, use the dial to trim your clip. It&#8217;s these highlights that really make the keyboard shine, drastically improving your edit speed. I cannot count how many times I&#8217;ve had to turn off the snap function because my mouse is increasing the trim too far, and I need that precise frame by frame.<\/p>\n<p>The keyboard wants to move away from the use of the mouse and instead adopt a two-hand workflow. Think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0181689\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Minority Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Minority-Report.gif\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-123924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Minority-Report.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>There\u2019s an argument that &#8220;you could just assign these functions to a key on your keyboard.&#8221; But, the likelihood is that most of the keys have already been assigned a task, and then you move into the territory of creating customized shortcuts that consist of Shift+Ctrl+Letter, and at that level, it\u2019s a lot easier to have a designated button. I\u2019m a regular user of the smooth cut (see what that does here), and having a button that expedites that effect is beautiful. Perhaps the principal selling point of the Resolve keyboard is the search dial. Found on the right side of the unit, the search dial is a machined metal, high-precision, rotary dial that can operate under three functions \u2014 Shuttle, Job, and Scroll.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_123920\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123920\" class=\"wp-image-123920 size-full\" title=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard Search Dial\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard Search Dial\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Search-Dial.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123920\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of the most prominent features is the search dial.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As each function will drastically change how the dial operates, the activation key will illuminate with a red LED to indicate what process is currently active.<\/p>\n<p>The shuttle control will shift the dial into a clutch mode where you can rotate the dial in increments to move forward and reverse down the timeline. You can increase the speed from x0.5-x64 (with every multiplication in between), and the process remains in operation, even when you&#8217;ve moved your hand away from the dial.<\/p>\n<p>The jog control will allow pinpoint precision positioning of a frame-by-frame playback, whereas the scroll control will allow you to glide up and down the timeline smoothly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use jog for precise frame finding<\/li>\n<li>Use scroll to navigate quickly<\/li>\n<li>Use shuttle to skim through long media files at a user-defined speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Above the control selection, you can also choose what the search dial affects, either the source or timeline. When combined with the edit tools on the far left, you&#8217;ll begin to see how powerful and efficient the keyboard will be.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_123925\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123925\" class=\"wp-image-123925 size-full\" title=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg\" alt=\"DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Resove-Keyboard-Angle.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123925\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The function keys have beneficial features such as the freeze frame.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The function keys (F1-F12) have acquired some beneficial features, which aren\u2019t initially present on a standard keyboard, such as insert black and (more specifically) F3 to freeze frame. You can currently press Shift+R to freeze frame, but that freezes the entire clip. When you press the dedicated freeze button, it only freezes the clip forward from the play head. You, of course, have the standard functions such as insert and overwrite \u2014 present on any keyboard \u2014 but then we see features such as Pic in Pic and Transitions.<\/p>\n<p>However, upon pressing them, nothing happened. I switched to trim mode, and again, nothing happened. I went through two trains of thought: &#8220;Oh no, I hope I haven\u2019t received a busted unit.&#8221; And then: &#8220;Oh no, it\u2019s for the cut page.&#8221; I proceeded to restore the cut page&#8217;s visibility, selected it, and hit one of the non-functional buttons to see that it was now functioning.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve followed any of my Resolve coverage here at PremiumBeat, you know I\u2019m not a fan of the cut page. I think it\u2019s okay for new editors and those looking to reduce Resolve&#8217;s steep learning curve, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a page as advertised \u2014 for editors on-the-go and to remove the bustling layout of the edit page. However, I honestly don&#8217;t find it practical. And here\u2019s the thing, the initial overview of the live cut page announcement mentioned that editors could use the cut page in their hotel room making dailies on a compact laptop, as the cut page accommodates smaller screens. But, if you\u2019re on the move and using the cut page to minimize the busy Resolve edit page, then why would you be carrying around a hefty keyboard?<\/p>\n<p>Between the search dial and the character keys is also a timecode numerical keypad and four buttons, which will alter the sort order of the media pool. While I understand their use, outside of testing their functions when the keyboard arrived, I&#8217;ve yet to use them again. Although, I can see the ease-of-use of quickly pressing a key to reorganize your media pool when it becomes messy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>I try to endorse a minimalist approach when it comes to equipment and technology \u2014 especially equipment that&#8217;ll reside on my workspace, as space isn&#8217;t plentiful. Likewise, I think it&#8217;s too easy to fall into the trap of buying every accessory that a company produces because you feel it&#8217;ll benefit you when, in reality, the standard process was never tedious.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I do believe the Resolve keyboard is an excellent addition to a Resolve editor&#8217;s arsenal. And, as advertised, it increases your editing efficiency. I had hoped to use the keyboard to cut my next short film, but complications have pushed that back. So, while I only used the keyboard to edit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCKyVN7fBTaQ3np4WOO7IK9A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Shutterstock Tutorials content<\/a>, I can acknowledge how quickly it increased some editing tasks. I can imagine after a month or two of straight editing with the keyboard, you&#8217;d be fully versed in its operation and become a more accelerated Resolve editor.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Cover image via Blackmagic Design.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Looking for more on DaVinci Resolve?
