Hey dudes - Both the speed editor and the editors keyboards by Blackmagic Design are now super cheap for what they are. But when you remove the 200 USD price difference, which one should you buy? Well this video will answer that for you. But I am also interested if you already own a speed editor or a editors keyboard and what your favourite features are?

I spent a couple hundred hours with the speed editor then two weeks ago I bought the editors keyboard, it has already saved hours! The Keyboard is the way to go! Great Video!

Well said! And I totally agree.

Something that is super important to understand about the Editor’s Keyboard is that the paint on the keycaps themselves rubs off pretty quickly. I bought it when it first came out and within 6 months, the paint on the most common keys wore off to the point that almost no paint was left on them. Looking really close, you can see how the paint is applied. It’s not laser etched or something like that like most keyboards - it is actually a very finely applied paint. I got the keyboard replaced and the same exact thing happened. I went back and forth with BM product management for over a year asking to buy the ‘replacement keycaps’ they say are available in the product description. Eventually, the product manager admitted there have been complaints of the paint coming off of a few of the units (including the Speed Editors) but that they had no intention of changing the manufacturing process. So, before you buy the keyboard, or the SE, please keep in mind the paint on the keycaps is going to rub off pretty quick and it costs money to get the caps replaced.

As it's a company purchase we get the VAT back of course.

I was using the Speed Editor when I didn't have a dedicated editing workspace and liked it (until it stopped working and I have to send it in for repair) since I could just put it in my backpack (no way to do that with the keyboard). Now that I have my studio, I was debating whether or not to get the keyboard. This convinced me to go for it. Thanks!

Im using a maxed M1 Mac Mini while waiting for the MacPro to launch so I can do a price comparison to the Studio and how "upgradeable / repairable" Apple makes their next pro level desktop. I try and avoid laptops as eventually they need their batteries replaced. If you need it now - get the Mac Studio, don't waste time with PC's - resolve is runs far better and is more stable on the Mac platform. BMD has a partnership with Apple which gets prioritised as Apple has a set number of fixed configurations compared to the unlimited cong variations one can have on a PC. A PC can currently be made technically more powerful, but the user experience is always on the side of the Mac platform. Hope this helps. Interested to know what you choose.....?

Well-made video for comparison. Thank you. I still drool over wanting to have the keyboard. I was on the fence about purchasing the editor's keyboard. but I ended up purchasing the speed editor instead. Here are my main factors in my decision: CONS OF THE KEYBOARD: Too big for the keyboard rollout. Too loud. More expense. POSITIVE OF THE SPEED EDITOR: I get a Flywheel. Short cut keys to improve workflow (and I don't mind working in the cut page - I like it actually as a way to prep for the edit page). I purchase it on that free deal when you buy another studio license - which made it virtually free when I sold the unused license key. The flywheel and many keys still work in the Edit page. I get to keep using a quieter keyboard. I can easily move to another computer (laptop, a friends computer or another studio computer w/ Davinci Resolve - and have an easier time because I remained with a standard keyboard. I would still buy the editors keyboard if it was quieter though.

Exactly! The editors keyboard is an all in one. As a side note, I know a lot of people were initially unhappy with the price of the resolve editors keyboard, but when I purchased my first resolve dongle, its was 1200 dollars. Thats was 2010. Look how far Blackmagic Design have come and how they have changed the industry since then. And they keep lowering prices and giving more to our creative community. I cant wait to see what their next camera is like.

Interesting review. I got the SE because it came "free" with Resolve Studio. I use an illuminated gamers keyboard with the SE and a tracker ball. The gamers keyboard has 6 macro keys which are useful. Both the BMD keyboards seem to suffer with the BMD disease. That is BMD design them with a single use case in mind and no flexibility to adapt them to other use cases. (for example the 9 wasted cam keys in the middle of the SE) Hopefully BMD upgrade to permit reprograming the SE keys CAM via and app with a firmware upgrade. Though all too often BMD launch something with flaws and then rather than an upgrade to fix it is a whole new device. The ATEM mini debacle for example.

Bought a speed editor a year ago for $125 new in box from a post color house in Los Angeles. Just opened it a month ago as I am migrating from Pr Pro to Resolve editing platform and was excited to see how it may improve my workflow. After a month, I don’t see it speeding up my workflow. I continue using keyboard shortcuts, the speed editor sits on my desk and looks pretty neat. The wheel is cool, but keyboard short cuts get me up and down the timeline just fine. I was hoping the number keys on the speed editor worked like a video switcher by selecting a layer and can be used to cut in real time, but that’s not what they do In all honesty, the long thick USB-C cable gets the most use charging my cellphone. Im holding on to the speed editor incase it may be a good tool in the field as DIT paired with a color panel, but in the office it’s a tech looking paperweight

Do these also improve editing in Premiere Pro or is it only Resolve?

@EntrNmHre

This is a great question, so thanks for asking. I believe that they are only for Resolve, but I also do not use Premiere as the cost of the software rules it out for me. Here is a good resource for work arounds: jonnyelwyn.co.uk/film-and-video-editing/using-the-davinci-resolve-speed-editor-in-other-video-editing-apps/ so if you dont wish to make the switch from premiere pro to resolve or even final cut to use the control surfaces …..I hope this helps or puts you on the path to finding a resolve.

Thats a great question. I guess that really has to do with how you are editing with your Macbook Pro. If you are happy using the inbuilt keyboard, you can map a lot of the functions and create hot keys or just stick with the FCP, PREM or RESOLVE preconfigured shortcuts. But if you are using your laptop in clamshell mode or vesa mount platform - then either the Editors keyboard of Speed editor from BMD would work really well. If I was using a laptop, I would get the speed editor. As for the overall typing experience, thats very subjective and hard for me to advise on. I prefer mechanical keyboards that are separate from the computer. But I am probably in the minority.

@@EntrNmHre I think I don't need to. My keyboard shortcuts remain the same no matter which keyboard is connected. It's just the physical labels on the actual keyboard which will induce confusion

gonna rant here a little; I feel like both the editor keyboard and speed editor are mostly gimmicks, not that well thought out, with the jogwheel as the only actual physical added value, and that there aren't any critical reviews out there. For example, (this is specifically for the keyboard) if you look at the buttons above the jogwheel, the timeline and source button, the "q" shortcut to toggle is way faster and more ergonomic, as you can leave your hand on the wheel. Which makes these buttons kind of useless. If you want to move your playhead from edit point to edit point you have to reach for the arrows which are kind of far away (details, but important), which could be these 2 buttons on the top (and which also need to be closer, probably it's now there because of design/outlining). An inner/outer ring for jogging/scrolling would be way more comfortable, instead of reaching for the current 3 buttons all the time, from which the shuttle mode is just horrible to use. The other buttons on the left side could just as well be regular keys, which also didn't even work in the first place in the edit page, and we're talking about an "editor" keyboard here. That you can't zoom the timeline with a modifier key and the jogwheel is a big missed opportunity. And i can think of so many more. And that's about it about the additional value of such device. The idea of having a specific device for editors has so much more potential. Just look at the fairlight desktop editor for fun. I feel like the editor keyboard is designed for the eye, maybe the budget, the marketing, and not for actual efficiency. To end this short rant with something positive; i do love it that BMD offers specific hardware tools for editors. But there is a lot to improve.

@EntrNmHre

Oh you rant is very welcome. You make some great points. A lot of people love the speed editor and just as many dislike it and prefer the editors keyboard. My real issue with BMD is that they recycle too many components. Thats great for cost savings to be able to deliver us hardware products, but on the flip side it can frustrate consumers by leaving out features or adding ones that the vast majority will never use.

The speed editor isnt on special anymore. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1634984-REG/blackmagic_design_dv_resstud_dongle_se_bun_davinci_resolve_17_studio.html and the editors keyboard is www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1670891-REG/blackmagic_design_dv_res_bbpnlmlekb_davinci_resolve_editor_keyboard.html?sts=pi&pim=Y still the cheapest its been.

the main problem is that the Keyboard is massively overpriced, deducting the license price, the speed editor is essentially Free ($10-40) while the keyboard goes for 700, and that is a hefty price for a fancy Keyboard. the only thing i personally not like about the speed editor is the single use.
