The Bella DV Keyboard 3.0 is PC and Mac compatible. Additional features include the standard conveniences of many premium keyboards, such as programmable keys for internet and email applications, as well as a series of international symbols for European users.

For the more discerning editor, Bella also offers keyboards from their Pro Series.

The Pro editions also include 1 NeoLite, a 12” gooseneck task light. All keyboards in the Pro line offer the same ports and additional features as the DV Keyboard 3.0.

A number of other companies manufacture NLE keyboards with custom labeled keys, including Logic Keyboards and WorldTech Devices. Bella is the first to include a jog dial built-in to the board rather than offer it as an external device.
