Best keyboard for Final Cut Studio?
For the last few years I’ve been using a Swiss French keyboard with FCE. Certain keyboard shortcuts have simply not worked. Now I’ve got Final Cut Studio and I’d like to take advantage of as many keyboard shortcuts that I can. (I can easily live without my ‘foreign’ keyboard)
Here in Switzerland it seems the choice is between “International English” (delivery within 1 day), “English (USA)” (delivery between 2-3 WEEKS!), and “British” (delivery within 1 day). Does anyone know of any significant keyboard shortcuts might not work on the “British” or “International English” keyboards”?
Many thanks in advance.

Can I ask what didn’t work? There are some features in OSX that overlap FCP features. Addtionally, we can ‘fix’ some of the more common problems (If I can get it so you dont’ have to spend money, etc)

Thanks for the reply Jeff. I’m not so concerned about costs today as last week’s purchase of FCS was the equivalent of 20+ keyboards! 🙂 I also have to think of the other occasional users of my iMac who would get confused if what was shown on the keycaps didn’t map with what’s coming up on the screen. On top of that I’m only a so-so touch typist.
I’m hoping someone can say if one or the other of the short lead time keyboards I mentioned will do most if not all the shortcuts. If not I’ll just have to order the US keyboard and wait for the three weeks involved.
