Razer Keyboard Editor

I use this for my USB headphones, razer blackwidow keyboard , Razer deathadder mouse and so much more I added to it and it's coming up now on two years in Feb, having this and been thinking of buying another

love this keyboard a lot its more comfortable than my razer v3 mini.

While waiting for the Speed Editor Keyboard to be delivered, I viewed the few YouTube videos already posted. The reviews varied according to whether the reviewer favored the Davinci Resolve Cut panel vs. the Edit panel. (NOTE: The Speed Editor works only with Davinci Resolve, and only with version 17 or later). Keyboard functionality is full in Cut and reduced in Edit. Fortunately, most of my editing is done in the Cut panel, so I can take advantage of the full range of Speed Editor functionality. According to the vendor, the Speed Editor Keyboard is best used with both hands: the left hand to select appropriate function buttons, and the right hand on the scroll wheel. That seems natural after a bit of familiarization with the key layout. I find that the Speed Editor does, indeed, save a lot of time compared to the usual keyboard and mouse interface; however, at least with my edits, I need to also use the keyboard and mouse along with the Speed Editor: it does a lot, but not everything. The keyboard can communicate with Resolve over either bluetooth or a USB-C connection. For producers who may have a lot of clips to review, select in and out points, lay out clips in the timeline, and add transitions, the Speed Editor would be a worthy investment. It is solidly built, the weighted scroll wheel is delightful to use, and its low cost will likely be repaid many times over with the editing time saved. Highly recommended to speed Cut timeline editing in Davinci Resolve.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Purchased to replace a defective Razer keyboard. I have been very impressed with the responsiveness and feel of the keys. This keyboard is great for playing games and also pleasant to type on and not as loud as a mechanical board. It also has a pretty impressive heft to it, so it does not slide around one's desk.

This is an amazing keyboard with heavy keys. My only complain is with the SL Editor, that could automatically identify the keyboard (currently you have to configure the MIDI section all the times).

I liked the full editor keyboard but it was too big. Plus it didn't make much sense with the cost. This panel is perfect as it has most of the great figures from the full keyboard in a portable size.

I was surprised to discover how functional the Speed Editor is in the Edit page, since it is billed as a keyboard for the Cut page. I don't use the Cut page, but since the SE was offered free with purchase of a DaVinci Resolve Studio license, I bought the license. In the Edit page, I use the jog/shuttle wheel and all the keys except the live edit/camera keys. (I haven't used the trim/slip keys, so I can't be sure they work in the Edit page.) The jog wheel greatly speeds up the editing process for me. The smart insert/append/ripl o/wr keys, the audio level process, the cut/dis/smth cut keys are great. I use the computer keyboard shortcuts and the Speed Editor keyboard together, and have greatly reduced use of the mouse. I find taking my hand away from the keyboards to use the mouse very inefficient. Of course everyone edits a bit differently, but for me the Speed Editor has indeed sped up my editing process, even outside the Cut page.

As a film editor, I've cut on Avid Media Composer since it was invented, and now also FCPX and Protools. I like this keyboard the best. I've used all the Apple standards, Macally, and Logickeyboard Proline and this is the finest touch of all. The illumination is great, instead of having a goofball little USB light mounted to it. I like that we finally have a BLACK keyboard for Mac, thank you very much, and the extra USB ports are a great feature. Just the right height, too, and looks good on the desk with the Tangent control and Kensington Pro trackball. And I'll tell you a secret. With so many years on Avid I use the Media Composer layout and remap FCPX to conform so I don't loose years of muscle memory and speed. Don't be afraid of that trick if you are a longtime Avid editor moving to FC. This is the keyboard you've been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen.

Even if your not an FCP editor, using one of these keyboard skins can seriously save your mac (when the kids spill a bottle of water over the open laptop!)

So, I first learned to edit on a linear tape to tape editor as a kid in the 90s and non-linear editing via software has had huge advantages but miss oddly the ease of a dedicated key/keyboard layout. This is certainly the closest to old school. I got mine in addition to a studio 17 license but give that a Mac keyboard is $150 and a Loupedeck is $550+ even on its own if you use Resolve regularly is well worth it - bundled? duhhh. A great reason to upgrade. Only downside is, of course, it's dedicated to Resolve, but a nice addition to ones kit.
