Can anyone recommend a keyboard or keyboard cover that has all the shortcuts for PS/LR on?
I'm looking to get a new keyboard for my computer and started looking at some that had printed short cuts on them. I was wondering how robust they were with regards to rubbing out the shortcuts over time.
 
Never tried it but it MIGHT be possible to have 2 keyboards plugged in to the same computer. If so, get hold of a cheap one and paint out the relevant shortcut keys with TipEx or similar then write the function on the TipEx.

Might be cheaper then the linked one!
 
I've used Logickeyboard keyboards for years at work for video editing and you have to perform a lot of key presses to wear them out they do both a Lightroom keyboard and a Photoshop version.
 
do a search on ebay for photoshop keyboard stickers, you can get all sorts for less than £10 or dedicated keyboards for about £50

personally I don't see the point in them, if you use a program for long enough you'll know what the shortcut keys are and wouldn't look at the keyboard anyway

Cheers will have a gander.
For me it's a bit of a learning aid to help get me going. That and I'll probably forget... What was I talking about? [emoji1]

There's a handy cheat sheet - the trouble with LR is that th ekeys do different things depending on which module you are using:

Can't vouch for the PhotoShop one but I tested every shortcut in the LightRoom one as I created it.[/T]

That's a helpful list of shortcuts - most of which I already use but great to have a reference for anything new I'm trying to use.

What I find most helpful is programmable buttons on my Wacom tablet - I have all of the shortcuts I most often use in Lightroom assigned to a button (which has a text display). Great for longer editing sessions.
