Here’s the one I use and recommend.

Looks pretty good … Wish it had a shuttle knob but it still seems like a good replacement

I too had a Bella, but I found J-K-L keyboard commands were much easier to operate and were more accurate than Bella’s implementation of the shuttle knob ever was.

BTW, I had the same issues you described with every Bella keyboard I ever used. The one from Logic is much better, is dedicated for OSX and Macs, and does not require drivers.

I forgot to mention it to Kent – I have that app, and it’s a terrific addition to a good keyboard. And, well worth the $29 price tag.

Not a keyboard, but I started using a Logitech G13 game pad about 8 months ago and I love it. Aside from a few rarely used key commands my keyboard is just for typing now. I also recently purchased an Evoluent vertical mouse (trying to head off some RSI) which has 6 programable buttons so I’ve really be able to create a more tailored, ergonomic setup for myself.

I love using the KB covers for my standard MAC keyboard. This way I can have a Premiere cover, an After Effects cover, and so on. They look awesome, protect the keyboard, and are a fraction of the price of dedicated keyboards. Clients can’t even tell they’re just covers.
