I can't find the exact model but did some digging on the company and their boards.

Edius is a video editing software maker who rebadges Logikeyboard keyboards, not to be confused with Logitech.
While Edius says the OEM is Logickeyboard, I suspect they are not the real OEM, possibly even the same company, many have no understanding of what OEM actually means. This looks like a white label keyboard from mid to late 2000's (too early for the wayback archive) and is really, realy similar to HP and Logitech rubber dome boards at the time, leading me to suspect that all 3 were made on the same line in China. While not 100% conclusive, I'd put money on it being a mid-grade rubber dome with an expensive set of key caps. Expensive because they're exclusive to the software, Edius charges a serious premium for their boards (double common price). Which if this is your job, it makes some sense to have keyboard tied to the software, but at the same time if it's your job you'll learn those shortcuts pretty fast and not need the special caps anymore.
