Logickeyboard ASTRA 2 USB QWERTZ Keyboard Black Full-size 108 Keys

The ASTRA 2 keyboard for Avid Pro Tools is a full-size USB QWERTZ keyboard with 108 keys and low-profile scissor-switch mechanisms for a responsive typing experience. It comes in a black finish, includes a full-sized F-row and multimedia keys, and requires no software installation. A dedicated grey USB cable powers the keyboard and a separate black USB cable activates the built-in USB 3.0 hub when needed.

Advantages

The backlit ASTRA 2 offers five selectable light levels to suit different lighting conditions and low-profile keys for a light yet responsive feel. The separate cables for keyboard power and hub connection prevent interference with setups that use KVM extenders. The integrated USB 3.0 hub adds convenience for connecting peripherals such as a mouse, phone, or USB dongle.

• Audio professionals using Avid Pro Tools who need keyboard shortcuts and dedicated layout support

Recommendations

For reliable hub performance, connect the hub’s black USB cable directly to the computer or to a powered USB port. Adjust the backlight level to one of five settings depending on ambient light to maintain comfortable visibility while working in the studio or at a desk.
