All Day Comfort 

KBD is crafted for those who rely on precision and ease in their workflow. With a rugged, ergonomic design, it's built for comfort, featuring a hand-rest area and tactile controls for all-day use.

Expanded Screen, Instant Camera Control

With a large screen that lets you monitor up to four cameras simultaneously or focus on one in full screen, seamless pairing and effortless switching are just a button press away. The improved tactile feedback ensures smooth, intuitive transitions at your fingertips.

Camera setting Sync

An industry-first feature: effortlessly tune one camera to your exact preferences and instantly copy those settings to another camera of the same model (BirdDog X series function). Simplifying camera setup and elevating your production to the next level.

Direct Access to Key Functions

No more endless menu diving! KBD brings you straight to the essentials. With its streamlined layout, operators can access camera pairing, switching, and configuration in seconds. It's all there, clear and accessible, thanks to user feedback that’s shaped a truly user friendly experience.

Super-fine control mode

When it's time to fine-tune, just shift the camera joystick into 'fine-tune' mode, increasing the sensitivity of the joystick by 10x, making reframing shots on air more artistic flair than nail-biting scare.

Built-in Tally borders

Pairing and switching between cameras is just a single press away, with tactile buttons providing instant feedback under your finger for smooth, intuitive transitions. When integrated with mixers like TriCaster or vMix, KBD’s built-in tally border shows the live camera directly on the keyboard, so you can stay focused without looking at other screens.
