The NEW AB10 Core Flight Simulator Keyboard is here.
Meet the most advanced Flight Simulator keyboard Editors Keys has ever made. The AB10 Core has been completely redesigned from the ground up — featuring a wired USB-C connection (adapter in the box for regular USB ports), full backlighting with 3 brightness levels, and over 100 colour-coded shortcuts printed directly on every key. Whether you're a seasoned virtual pilot or just getting serious about your simulation setup, this is the keyboard your cockpit has been waiting for.
Choose Your Version
Designed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Available in UK/Euro English and US English layouts — make sure to select the correct layout above before ordering. Each version has its own dedicated shortcut layout printed on the keys, optimised for Flight Simulator 2024.
Compatible with PC and Xbox
The AB10 Core works seamlessly with both Windows PC and Xbox — plug in via USB-C or the regular USB Adapter and you're ready to fly. No drivers, no software, no setup. Just plug in and take off.
Key Features
- 100+ Colour-Coded Shortcuts — Every key is pre-printed with the Flight Simulator shortcut you need, colour-coded by function so you can find commands instantly. No more alt-tabbing to PDFs or hunting through menus mid-flight.
- Fully Backlit with 3 Brightness Levels — Fly day or night missions in comfort. Adjust backlighting to suit your environment whether you're in a bright room or a darkened cockpit-style setup.
- Wired USB Connection — Rock-solid, zero-latency connection every time. No wireless dropouts, no batteries, no interruptions. A USB-A adapter is included for older systems.
- Auto PC Detection — Plug and Play — Connect and the keyboard is instantly recognised. No drivers or downloads required.
- Every Typing Character Shown — All standard keyboard characters are printed on every key alongside the shortcuts, so the AB10 Core works as your everyday keyboard too.
Your Health Matters
Gaming in dimly lit rooms can contribute to eye strain, back pain, and neck pain. Editors Keys partnered with Optical Express in the UK to develop keyboards that reduce these issues. Stephen Hannan, Clinical Services Director of Optical Express, praised the innovation:
"This will ultimately improve efficiency for the user & improve eye health in the long term."
Trusted by Professionals Worldwide
Editors Keys invented the world's first fully backlit shortcut keyboard and has been trusted by professional editing suites, post-production houses, recording studios and universities worldwide for over 20 years. The AB10 Core brings that same professional-grade quality to your flight simulation setup.
1-year warranty included. 30-day money-back guarantee.
