Along with the release of DaVinci Resolve 17, Blackmagic Design has also announced the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor.
The DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is essentially a smaller sized controller that includes only the specific keys needed for editing.
It has Bluetooth with an internal battery for connecting wirelessly, or you can connect via USB-C.
This is not the first time Blackmagic has released a keyboard for DaVinci Resolve.
You may well remember back in April 2019 when Blackmagic announced the Resolve Editor Keyboard. It was a bit of a surprise at the time and a lot of people commented that it was too expensive.
Above you can see the size difference between the Resolve Speed Editor and the Resolve Keyboard Editor. If you look at it closely, the Resolve Speed Editor is essentially a cut down version of the larger Keyboard Editor.
