10 Best Keyboard For Video Editing 2022 – Reviews & Guide
When it comes to finding the best keyboard for video editing, there really isn’t anyone keyboard that stands out as the best. In fact, the answer depends on your needs.
If you need a keyboard for video editing that’s portable, then you’ll want to find a light and small one. If you need a keyboard for video editing that has great tactile feedback, then you’ll want to find one with mechanical switches. If you need a keyboard for video editing that works with Macs and PCs, then you’ll want to find one that has full compatibility with both operating systems. If you need a keyboard for video editing that has easy access to shortcuts and key commands, then you’ll want to find one that is customizable.
In this article, we’re going to take a look at ten different keyboards and give our thoughts on them based on our own experiences in the field.
What keyboard do editors use?
The keyboard you choose can make a difference in your productivity and comfort.
According to a survey by the Content Marketing Institute, writers and editors spend an average of 3.39 hours a day writing, with almost a quarter of their week spent on their keyboards. Many editors spend even more time than that, sometimes up to 10 hours a day.
If you’re looking for the right keyboard for your needs, consider these:
A mechanical keyboard. Mechanical keyboards are preferred by gamers because of the tactile feedback, but they can also be preferred for typing because they’re more responsive and have more options for customization. Gamers and typists alike often prefer Cherry MX Blue switches, which provide an audible click when pressed — and if you work in an open office, that’s probably one way to let your colleagues know when you’re done talking (or at least when you want them to stop talking).
A split keyboard. Split keyboards such as the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard or the Kinesis Freestyle2 offer two separate halves that allow you to rest your arms naturally as you type, instead of hunching them forward toward a standard keyboard. If you type for long periods each day, this is a good option to consider.

The Kinesis Advantage2 is the most advanced ergonomic keyboard we’ve ever created. Its breakthrough design features our patented Contoured Keyboard and Elevated Keys to reduce wrist pronation, improve alignment and increase comfort. It uses genuine Cherry MX mechanical switches for premium typing feel and performance. All keys are fully programmable so you can customize the Advantage2 to boost your productivity.
With its first-of-its-kind 20 degrees of built-in tenting, the Advantage2 is especially well suited for people who like to position their keyboard at a more upright angle. Together with the patented Contoured Keyboard, this tenting increases comfort by reducing forearm pronation (wrist twisting inward) and ulnar deviation (hand moving away from body).
The Kinesis Elevated Keys allow you to type with your wrists in a natural position without wrist or palm strain (as opposed to standard flat keyboards that force you to bend your wrists). We also added cushioned palm pads for maximum ergonomic comfort.
The Advantage2 offers a host of productivity-boosting features such as integrated palm supports and an integrated cushioned palm pad. The Advantage2 includes onboard special function keys that can be programmed to perform macros, shortcuts and other user defined functions.
