Just got my World Tech keyboard for Vegas. Shortcuts that I'd forgotten are there, are shown clearly, plus a few 'bonus' shortcuts programmed in there. http://www.worldtechdevices.com/vegas.html
I got mine from Safe Harbor, but I think VideoGuys sell them too. At 96.00 or so, it's well worth the cost, if nothing else, it's a Vegas-oriented keyboard. Feels solid, great replacement for my standard keyboard. I wanted one not only for the Vegas shortcuts that I use in all my editing sessions, I also wanted it because it looks like "Vegas" in our editing rooms.
Biggest thing I like is how it's springy under the fingers, feeling solid. Granted, I replaced a 25.00 keyboard with it, but the difference for me is pretty significant. I edited a session all day today with it, and found that my fingers didn't feel as tight as they usually do.
I'm not using the wrist rest with it, but I don't use rests. I just keep the keyboard higher, so it's nice that the rest is removable. The booklet that comes with it is Vegas-specific, and it's color coded for the shortcuts as well as being burned into each key, what the key does. It's not stickers like some of the keyboards I've seen have.
The color coding is set up so it's:
Purple for Playback/recording
Dark Pink for Editing
Yellow for View menu/view tools
Dark blue for Navigation/time selection
Not only is the icon for the shortcut burned into the key, but it also contains the same icons seen in much of the toolbar or function.
USB, cable could be a little longer, but overall, can't complain about any of it. I find it a strong valuable add to my Vegas system. We bought two, both are black, but the website shows a white model. I haven't seen thewhite model in person, just in the black that I got.
Summarized; Looks and feels great, and speaks Vegas shortcuts all over it.
