==Introduction==
The Sony BKE-2010 Editing Keyboard is a special purpose keyboard used on the Sony BVE-2000 linear edit system, and possibly others. It is one of the only known [[Topre]] keyboards that does not use capacitive switches, instead adopting a conductive membrane setup, much like the one seen on the [[Sony BKE-2011]].

==Description==
The BKE-2010's case is completely plastic, unlike the [[Sony BKE-9400A]] (all metal) and [[Sony BKE-2011]] (metal bottom only). The keycaps are [[PBT]], and compatible with a standard capacitive Topre keyboard. There is a rubberised section surrounding the [[jog/shuttle dial]]. The keyboard interfaces via a 15-pin proprietary connector on the back. Interestingly, the rubber domes on the BKE-2010 do not have carbon-contact pads like the BKE-2011. This suggests that the carbon contact pads on the Sony BKE-2011 are unnecessary, as previously assumed.
