Function groups are color-coded, although the keys for those groups are not always grouped together. At the core of the keyboard is a US-style QWERTY setup of keys with the arrow keys integrated into the main block of keys and the “Home” key integrated into the Num-block.

It feels like the Blackmagic Design Editor Keyboard could survive bouncing around a case or rack for years and maybe even survive a drop – but don’t quote me on that. Let me start out by saying that even if this keyboard was twice the price, the build quality would still feel outstanding for the price.

So is this new keyboard part of the same strategic push by Blackmagic Design to further differentiate and distinguish DaVinci Resolve as a full-featured editing suite for editors or teams without the dreaded, time-wasting round trips? And who would actually seriously buy a keyboard for a thousand dollars? We will try and return to these questions a bit later on. Consequently, versions 15 and 16 have, at least across Youtube and the Blogospheres, seen people announcing their switch to Resolve in troves, either from Adobe Premiere or Final Cut (arguably not as much from Avid though). However most major versions of Resolve since version 14, seemingly building on the software’s almost unchallenged dominance in the color grading realm, have been trying to improve on DaVinci Resolve’s usefulness to editors, VFX artists and sound editors alike, brushing up on the editing side of things by adding loads of features already present in other NLEs and integrating Fairlight and Fusion into Resolve without any additional cost upgrading. But it was only a few years ago that Blackmagic started taking into account the needs of smaller production houses and individual filmmakers or colorists which couldn’t afford the $30,000 Advanced Panel, as well as the rather large grading suite to put it in, by offering the Mini and Micro Panels.
