Backlit aluminum keyboard with color-coded Avid Media Composer shortcuts for faster professional video editing

  • Wired and wireless modes fit flexible setups

Avid Media Composer Editing Keyboard

This external keyboard is designed specifically for Avid Media Composer workflows. Shortcut legends are printed directly on the keycaps to accelerate professional video editing tasks. Color-coded command groups help editors locate tools quickly without relying on memorised hotkeys. It suits broadcast, film and post-production professionals who need dedicated hardware control.

Slim Aluminium Build for Quiet Operation

The aluminium chassis provides a rigid typing platform without active cooling, so it adds no fan noise to a studio environment. Wired and wireless connection options let editors choose a tethered or cable-free setup. Power draw is limited to the host USB port or the internal battery when used wirelessly. No thermal management is required during extended editing sessions.

Durable Print and Stable Platform

Keycap legends resist fading, chipping and cracking with proper care, keeping shortcuts visible over years of use. The aluminium frame prevents flex, giving a consistent feel during long cutting sessions. Wired USB and wireless modes cover both fixed suite installations and mobile editing positions. Buyers who need backlit legends on a non-aluminium board or a layout for other NLEs should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the wired Avid Media Composer keyboard need any driver installation on macOS before the color-coded shortcut legends work?

No driver is required; the keyboard is recognised automatically by macOS and the printed Media Composer legends function immediately once the USB cable is connected.

Are the printed shortcut legends on the aluminum keycaps replaceable if they eventually wear down?

The legends are permanently printed on each keycap and are designed not to fade, chip or crack; individual keycaps are not sold separately, so the legends cannot be swapped out.

How long does the backlight stay on continuously before the keyboard overheats or the battery drains?

The wired model draws power from the USB connection, so the backlight can remain on indefinitely without battery drain or thermal shutdown.
