There's an integrated electronic clutch that creates end stops when used for shuttle and position. The metal search dial features rubber coating and is designed with multiple roller bearings that allow for smooth operation. Plus, the keys caps, handrest, and key switches are all available as spare parts so the keyboard can be refreshed and repaired over time.

There's also a handrest with a soft feel to help reduce fatigue. The integrated search dial is machined from solid metal and allows for very precise transport and trimming control. The key switches are the same type used by eSports keyboards and each key is certified for over a million operations. The all-metal design includes keys with a tiered profile, instead of flat keys, so it's easy to feel your way around. It can be used on a desktop or inset into a console via a flange. It's designed to plug into USB Type-C computer ports and works without any batteries. Based on feedback from professionals, it even has subtle design features such as empty space above certain keys, so they can be located by touch.

For example, you can control the position within a clip with the right hand while setting in and out points and applying edits with the left. Made for DaVinci Resolve 16 and above, the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard from Blackmagic Design features an all-metal construction and has professional edit keys and a high-quality search wheel, allowing you to edit with both hands.
