I’m adding these to my filmmaking wish list. They would make video editing so much easier. And they are just affordable enough that I feel like they’d pay for themselves quickly.
The full length keyboard comes with a full numeric keyboard. I’m not really after that part — just the “home” and “end” keys. I miss them terribly.

The full keyboard cover shows you what short cuts to use in Adobe Premiere. This would be so helpful because I’m in the middle of switching from FCP to Premiere, and I keep using the wrong keyboard shortcuts.
I could probably switch the key commands manually, but if I ever edited video on someone else’s machine I’d be frustrated all over again. No bueno. Better to learn Premiere’s standard key commands.
Keyboard cover, $39.90 from B&H
The keyboard and cover, would cost me roughly $100 total, with shipping and taxes, I assume. That’s not too shabby. Especially since I’d use both of them immediately.
