Logickeyboard Avid Media Composer ASTRA 2 backlit keyboard Mac French (LKB-MCOM4-A2M-FR)

The ASTRA 2 backlit keyboard is a full-size, black USB keyboard with an AZERTY layout and low-profile scissor-switch keys that deliver a light, responsive feel. It includes five selectable backlight levels, a full-sized F-row, and dedicated multimedia keys. The keyboard is supplied with two USB cables: a grey cable to power the keyboard and a separate black cable to enable the built-in USB 3.0 hub for connecting devices such as a mouse, phone or USB dongle. The keyboard requires no software installation and can be used as a standard substitute keyboard.

Advantages

The ASTRA 2 combines a full-size 104-key layout with scissor-switch key mechanism for accurate, low-profile typing. Adjustable backlighting with five brightness levels allows use in varied lighting conditions. The integrated USB 3.0 hub expands connectivity while the two-cable design (grey for keyboard power, black for hub activation) reduces installation conflicts in setups that use KVM extenders. Multimedia keys and a complete F-row provide direct control for workflow and media playback.

Suitable for

• Office work requiring a full-size AZERTY keyboard
• Gaming where low-profile responsive keys are preferred
• Media editing and playback control using dedicated multimedia keys
• Setups that need additional USB ports via an integrated hub

How to use

To use the keyboard, plug the grey USB connector into an available USB port to power the keyboard and enable normal typing and backlighting.

The keyboard functions as a standard USB keyboard and requires no additional drivers; multimedia keys and the F-row operate immediately once connected.

Recommendations

For reliable hub operation in environments with KVM extenders or complex installations, connect the grey cable first to ensure keyboard power, then connect the black cable to enable the USB hub. Adjust backlight level to suit ambient lighting and prolong key longevity by avoiding continuous maximum-brightness operation.
