A specialty keyboard is a standard keyboard with software keyboard shortcuts marked on color-coded keys. They help users to learn and use the keyboard shortcuts for particular software applications. It is very popular with videographers who have to spend hours editing their raw video. The keyboard helps to increase the speed of their work. It is also starting to catch on in other applications, such as graphic designers using Photoshop keyboards, audio editors using audio editing keyboards, etc. There is no reason why other applications such as word processing and email programs cannot take advantage of specialty keyboards' shortcut keycaps.
