Keyboard Logickeyboard LKB-CBASE-A2PC-FR Universal USB AZERTY French Black

The ASTRA 2 keyboard for Steinberg Cubase & Nuendo is a full-size AZERTY wired USB keyboard in black, designed for users who need dedicated Cubase & Nuendo labeling and convenient media and function keys. It uses low-profile scissor-switch keys across 109 keys for a responsive typing feel and includes a full F-row. The keyboard is plug-and-play and does not require software installation. Two separate USB cables are provided: a grey cable for powering the keyboard and a black cable to enable the integrated USB 3.0 hub when needed.

Advantages

The backlit ASTRA 2 offers five selectable illumination levels to suit different lighting conditions and low-profile scissor-switch keys for a light but responsive keystroke. A dedicated USB 3.0 hub expands connectivity for devices such as a mouse, phone or USB-dongles, while the two-cable design reduces interference with KVM extenders and installation setups. Full-sized F-row and multimedia keys provide direct access to common functions without additional software.

Suitable for

• Music production with Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo
• Studio workstations where labeled Cubase & Nuendo shortcuts are useful
• General office or home use requiring a full-size AZERTY keyboard

How to use

The keyboard will work immediately without installing drivers; use the multimedia and F-row keys directly for common tasks and the Cubase & Nuendo labeled keys for DAW-specific shortcuts.

Recommendations

For reliable hub performance, connect high-speed devices directly to the black USB hub cable; hub throughput may vary depending on connected devices. Use the backlight level that matches your environment to balance visibility and power usage.
