Dead Editor Keyboard?

PostSat May 03, 2025 10:52 am

so, I have been editing with Resolve for a couple of years, and I decided to take the plunge and get the Editor Keyboard, however when I connect it to my PC I get... nothing... I mean it works fine as a keyboard (although the keys are a little oddly placed in come cases) but the jog wheel, and all the special keys are non functional, nothing lights up, I tried multiple usb ports and cables, no luck... anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Are you experiencing this with Resolve or just with non-Resolve apps? If it is just the latter, then know that the jog wheel and special keys are specifically for Resolve only. It’s not a universal keyboard expect for the regular keyboard part. Otherwise, give BM a call - could be a faulty device.

In the Help menu in Resolve does it appear if you click on DaVinci Control Panels Setup?
