For example, you can control the position within a clip with the right hand while setting in and out points and applying edits with the left.
Based on feedback from professionals, the Resolve Editor Keyboard even has subtle design features such as empty space above certain keys, so they can be located by touch.
It plugs into a USB Type-C port and works without any batteries.
The keyboard can be used on a desktop or inset into a console via a flange. DaVinci Resolve software is included.

The key switches are the same type used by eSports keyboards and each key is certified for over a million operations.
The integrated search dial is machined from solid metal and allows for very precise transport and trimming control. There’s also a handrest with a soft feel to help reduce fatigue.
Plus, the key caps, handrest, and key switches are all available as spare parts so the keyboard can be refreshed and repaired over time.

There’s an integrated electronic clutch that creates end stops when used for shuttle and position. The dial can also be spun in jog mode to allow a natural timeline scroll. The jog control allows free movement for precise positioning of the playback point.
Shuttle uses the clutch, and you can rotate forward and reverse wind to move up and down the timeline. Scroll allows scrolling up and down a long edit to navigate quickly.
The clip being viewed is also highlighted in the bin in real time. Switching between the source tape and timeline is instant.
Because editing with a keyboard is quite different from editing on a computer’s user interface, the editing functions have been optimized to take advantage of the speed of a keyboard.
Most edits can be performed on the source clip without needing to place edit points on the timeline itself, eliminating time wasted switching between source and timeline. The edit points can automatically locate the nearest timeline edit or even match timecode. A good example is Smart Insert, which locates the nearest edit and inserts at that point.
If you shoot with multiple cameras and sync timecode, you can lay other camera angles on a base wide shot layer.

With DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard you can press a key and add or remove a transition with a single button press.
The Cut key will remove any transition on an edit point and leave it as a simple edit between the two clips. Pressing Dissolve will add a one second dissolve between the two clips, and using Roll Duration will set the desired transition length.
Plus, if there is already a dissolve on the edit, then the key will be ignored. There’s also a smooth cut button to allow jump cuts to be removed at the press of a button.
The DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard features a revised QWERTY key layout based on feedback from professional editors. The new features in the revised layout include a viewer button to allow instant switching to full screen view.
However, you still get all the traditional editing features for both the cut and edit pages in DaVinci Resolve, so the core QWERTY part of the keyboard still operates in a familiar way.
