The patented keyboards boast an integrated jog/shuttle controller, the manufacturer described, and work with leading video applications including Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Xpress Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, and many others. The keyboards can also be used as standard keyboards, enhancing applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and others.
Both the DV Keyboard and Professional Series have been updated with a jet black design and contrasting metallic silver finish. Other improvements to the keyboards include multiple jog wheel indentations for better media control.

Editors and consumers will become more efficient and learn their favorite editing application in less time with the included shortcut sticker sets.
