Comments about Bella Advantage Series Keyboard 2.0 for Final Cut Pro - USB:
I had used a Bella keyboard with shuttle in the past, but I chose the keyboard without shuttle this time. It's a solid keyboard, and it's helpful to have the keys marked and colored to indicate their uses.
What's not so good is that the keys feel gummy when I type.

Comments about Bella Advantage Series Keyboard 2.0 for Final Cut Pro - USB:
I bought the Bella Keyboard to help with the shortcuts while editing in Final cut. I like what I have used so far, some shortcuts I knew already, and I am getting used to others on the keyboard. I would recommend it for Final Cut users!

Comments about Bella Advantage Series Keyboard 2.0 for Final Cut Pro - USB:
I bought this along with a shuttle controller. But the controller takes care of most of my needs, so i don't use the keyboard shortcuts much.
I like the multimedia buttons and the USB ports. It is pretty solid (although lighter than my mac keyboard) It's helpful that the keys include not oly the shortcuts and standard letters, but the symbols for the alt and cmd keys as well.
My only complaints are that it is tough to type with because of the colors and symbols, since I still look at the keys for that, and my Mac doesn't always recognize it, so I have to re-boot.

After you get use to the layout it's fast moving.
I also use it for some word processing.
Set up was easy and it's nicely priced too.
A good choice.

This is a great mid-price FCP keyboard. If you don't need a built in scroll wheel and don't like the idea of skins--check this out. Since this keyboard and the standard apple slim keyboard have dual usb ports you can run them both together . . .

Nice layout. Takes a little time to get used to where certain controls are located versus standard Mac keyboard.
