this is quite a decent keyboard, but do you know some best keyboards... I am also looking to buy one

Those all look like regular keyboards with the shortcut keys indicated on the keys. I wouldn't bother. Just memorize the keyboard shortcuts or print them out.

Did you consider something like the Contour ShuttlePRO V2?

I've wondered about Vegas keyboards for some years, but when you look at the keyboard shortcut section of Vegas Pro's user manual, surely no keyboard can do all of the vast available shortcut options - maybe just a few of the more popular options. I am yet to be convinced. I can see more use with the keyboard panels offered by BMD for DaVinci Resolve because of the search dial etc.

Contour has just what I was looking for ... a different model than John-brown wrote ..

My combo:

On my Left: Contour Shuttle Pro 2

Front and Centre: Logic Back Lit Keyboard VegasPro & Presonus FaderPort 8

On my Right: Logitec MX Master Mouse sitting on top of an A2 Graph Tablet.

Between these three I've got most of the Command and Control I need.

I've used the same three IBM keyboards, P/N 1391401, since 1992 or so. I just replaced a cable on one of them with an OEM part that I bought from UniComp who owns the IP, now. I use them because they are indestructible and they provide tactile feedback to the worst typist on the planet. The company sells removable keytops that can be customized, but I haven't pursued the concept.

It is just a normal keyboard, but with the shortcuts displayed on the keys right ?

Color coded as well

+1 I even prefer to use my Shuttle xpress instead of my Shuttle pro.
