I love these series so much I got 3! I started with the Avid one which I use for that and Premiere Pro (a muscle memory thing). This one is so helpful for me because it helps me remember all the keyboard shortcuts and modifier key usages for Resolve that isn't my native NLE. But the unique thing I like is that it's illuminated since I'm normally working in low light edit bay situation.

My LogicKeyboard Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Keyboard is the best money I have spent. I work in a dark environment and the lit keyboard is a lifesaver. I feel its a better investment than the Blackmagic keyboard at a savings of $700. This paired with the BM speed editor is a better grouping. The redundancy of 2 jog wheels is solved. Good job Logickeyboard!!!

I work with Photoshop everyday, and its nice to have cheats on the keyboard cause I can't remember everything. LOL
Plus, the backlighting is really nice when working in a dim environment.

Great Avid replacement KYBD

Not only does this keyboard look great, but it works as advertised.


This keyboard has a well though out design, the brushed black metal case is clean and neat, with effective (and adjustable) keyboard illumination which is bright enough to use in a well lighted room but dimmable (in 5 steps) so that it is not blinding in darkness.


The keys are silent in operation (as long as you don't hammer them!) and have a fairly soft and short stroke with a definite snap as they activate.


The case itself is slanted just enough to be comfortable for most people, but the slant angle is not adjustable. However i don't think this will be a great concern for most people.


As for the keys, the various Resolve Studio shortcuts are colour coded into the various function groups they belong to. Some keys support multiple functions, so there are little coloured dots adjacent to each key legend that identifies the appropriate key (Shift, CTRL, ALT) to be used in conjunction with the desired action key.


Note that all the various key combinations are listed in various online sources and are the standard keyboard shortcuts for Resolve Studio. So, indeed, one could simply memorize these keyboard shortcuts and not need to use this keyboard, but having the keyboard in front of you eliminates the need for rote memorization and lets you select the correct key sequences quickly with less chance of error.



Admittedly, using a shortcut keyboard does take some time to get used to, but once you do, it makes editing much easier with less interruption to your mental workflow. So, for me anyway, this keyboard is well worth the slight investment in time and money.


Oh, I almost forgot - this is also a very nice keyboard for general text entry and typing.

I love the Astra keyboards. Great way to learn the shortcuts and also, because they're illuminated, a great way way to see your keyboard in a dark edit room.
