New LogicKeyboard vs Bella

well the bella clearly has more keys and a jog/shuttle dial. Never used the bella (or heard of it, i guess it's not available in the uk) but it looks a bit plastic to me. The logic keyboard is a proper apple one so it depends how you feel about them.

Haven't used the new thin aluminum version of the LogicKeyboard but have used the older versions and they are superb. Standard Apple keyboards with clearly designed FCP keycaps and good tactile response. Love 'em to bits. I've used the Bella keyboard with Jog/Shuttle too. Didn't like it at all. Non (Apple) standard key size and placing, felt \ cheap and plasticky, and the Jog/Shuttle was just plain annoying as its just a keystroke sender that did the same function as JKL but with less precision ... ok, so now I've got that off my chest again (sorry Bella) I should also mention that some folks out there whose opinion I respect highly have entirely contrary views to mine and love their Bella keyboards. (Poor saps).

logickeyboard, hands down.

I've never liked the Bella KBs, but the logickeyboard KBs are elegant, IMO.

EDIT: Note the logickeyboard also offers a FCP skin that slips over the Apple Al KB that comes with the 2009 MacPros. It works, but it ain't great. If your budget will allow, go for the KB, rather than the Skin.

I'll throw in my vote for the Logickeyboard. One of our suites has a Bella, and it looks and feels unprofessional. The keys are too soft and the rounded design doesn't fit well next to a Wacom tablet.

The Bella's are terrible. Don't use them. I have some in my edit lab.

I love the LogicKeyboard ones. They feel much better and the quality is definitely better.

Just my 2 cents.

don't restrict yourself to the aluminium one though, the other apple keyboard from logic is a more traditional keyboard that a lot of people prefer, as witnessed here.
