The Avid Pro Tools Keyboard. Backlit. Built for the session.
Over 100 Pro Tools shortcuts, colour-coded and printed directly on the keys — so every edit, clip gain, fade and mix command is exactly where you need it. Less time reaching for the mouse, more time focused on the sound.
Available as the AB10 Air (wireless) or the AB10 Core (wired). Same keyboard, same shortcuts, same performance — one difference.
AB10 Air — Wireless Connect up to three devices and switch between them with a single tap — ideal for engineers who work across multiple machines, move between rooms, or want a clean, cable-free session setup.
AB10 Core — Wired A direct USB-C connection with zero latency and nothing to charge. Plug in and start working — it's always on, always ready. USB-A adapter available seperatly to connect to older USB-A ports.

- Up to 3 months battery life (AB10 Air) — With backlight off, based on 5 hours of use per day. Backlight on lasts a full working day. Or keep it plugged in for uninterrupted sessions
- Built for Mac and PC — Works straight out of the box with no drivers or downloads. The Mac version includes F-row shortcuts for brightness and volume controls built in
- Cross-platform — Compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Chromebook and Linux
Built for the way audio professionals work
Pro Tools is the industry standard for a reason — and the engineers who move fastest through it are the ones who've made their shortcuts second nature. The AB10 is designed to make that instinctive, putting every command within immediate reach so your attention stays on the mix, not the interface.
Editors Keys pioneered the world's first fully backlit shortcut keyboard back in 2014. The AB10 builds on that foundation — combining professional shortcut coverage, wireless freedom and all-day backlighting in a keyboard built for studios, home setups and everything in between.

Really beautiful keyboard, perfectly lit and great to work with
Just fantastic!
Bluetooth to 3 devices. Works straight out of the box. Solid, classy feel with a lovely weight to it. I prefer the action of these keys to that of the Apple Magic Keyboard.
Really happy with this purchase. Probably going to have to get a spare so I can have one at home and one in the cutting room.
Dope keyboard helps with shortcuts would be 100 times better and more useful if there was a little pamphlet with most used/ useful shortcuts (what to press) plus more educational videos on shortcuts
The keyboard is ok but the depth of the key colors should be a darker/richer. Also, when compared to my Logic Astra Keyboard, the Logic black keys don't have light showing through. The black keys should only have light showing through the white lettering. And lastly, the Logic Keyboards are better priced with more features (wired and wireless in the same keyboard).
Hey
Thanks for the feedback, we actually found that users surveyed preffered a fully backlight keyboard with even lighting rather than some keys fully lit and some laser etched.
Plus our keyboards can be paired with up to 3 devices.
Great keyboard. Should do one for plugin short cuts like automation for pro tools and things related to
The keyboard came well packaged, with its own USB-C to USB-C cable. It is fairly lightweight and the backlit keys are a nice touch but not entirely necessary, it just looks good in the dark. As it’s been a long time since I used Pro Tools, I find the keyboard to be a good aid in remembering some of the functions, but I still need to spend more time learning the wealth of functions within Pro Tools to make better use of the keyboard itself. The keys have a nice feel to them, they’re not heavy or raised. Some keyboards have a slight rise on their position or have extendable back feet on the top of the keyboard which gives the keyboard a little extra height, this keyboard does not have that and is quite flat which is taking me a little time to get used to. This keyboard also misses the slight scallop design on the keys, they’re very flat, so it’s easy for your fingers to wander slightly away from their natural keyboard position. Overall it’s a good keyboard and I’m glad I bought it, it’s a little pricey in my opinion but it is help in me to get back into editing in Pro Tools once again, so for me that’s worth the little extra money.
The Pro Tools keyboard is excellent overall: solid, well built, and very useful. The battery life is impressive, especially when avoiding heavy backlight use.
Personally, the keys feel a bit too large and stiffer than Apple’s, sometimes a press doesn’t trigger.
It would also be great if future versions offered two shortcut sets depending on the user’s workflow: one for music and one for post production.
Personal considerations aside, I really like the keyboard.
the best teclado og the world
Amazing product and great customer service
I'm just starting Pro Tools and the keyboard has helped me navigate the complicated commands. It was well worth getting this keyboard! I'm still learning but this makes it so much better.
It was so quick to deliver and beautifully packaged. Great keyboard..
Great product
Much better than I thought possible, delivered quickly. I love the Back Lights.
Neatly packaged and what I ordered.

good
Just got my new Protools wireless keyboard and can say that im totally happy with it.
Bought a clean cover for the keyboard only to realize when it arrived that it doesnt fit my new keyboard. After entering in contact with company, I received a refund from it.
I can totally recommend their products and service.
Brilliant work
Great looking keyboard. Works well.
Only thing for me is to have to recharge keyboard for Bluetooth as the charge doesn’t seem to last too long. Sometimes it takes a while to connect but probably because I’m using a Bluetooth 4 USB adapter.
I had been using this company for awhile as well as the company that I work for over 20 years, Universal Studios. About a year ago I ordered a Pro Tools back lite keyboard and after I used it for about a month, the black keys started losing their color coating. I reached out to the company and the shipped me a new one. Will continue to do business with this company for as long as I edit.
I absolutely love the product! I still think it’s a bit pricey but then again it’s very high quality!
This keyboard is the best keyboard ever.
I imagined a mac like keyboard. This isn't. But. I do like it. It's a bit thicker, sits the keys at an angle which I don't like, but it lights up and looks cool I guess. I don't have to strain to find a key. That's the important part.
I love to work with my lights off when I'm working for hours editing on Pro Tools and this keyboard is perfect for me since I don't have to force my vision on the dark to find the keys on the keyboard!! I highly recommend it!!
Awesome impressive, beautiful.
