Logickeyboard Avid Media Composer ASTRA 2 backlit keyboard PC UK (LKB-MCOM4-A2PC-UK)

The Logickeyboard ASTRA 2 is a full-size wired QWERTY keyboard in black with low-profile scissor-switch keys that deliver a light, responsive typing feel. It includes LED backlighting with five selectable brightness levels and a built-in USB 3.0 hub. The keyboard uses two separate USB cables — a grey cable to power the keyboard and a black cable to enable the USB hub — which helps prevent issues with installations that use KVM extenders. The layout includes a full F-row and multimedia keys and retains standard letters, numbers and symbol labelling so it can serve as a direct substitute for a conventional keyboard.

Advantages

The scissor-switch low-profile keys combine quick response with a low travel distance for comfortable typing. Five backlight levels allow clear visibility in different lighting conditions. The integrated USB 3.0 hub adds convenient connectivity for devices such as a mouse, phone or USB dongle. Dual USB cables separate keyboard power from hub power to improve compatibility with complex setups. Full-sized F-row and dedicated multimedia keys provide straightforward control without software installation.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Desktop gaming and general PC use
• Workstations requiring a full-size QWERTY layout with function keys
• Installations using KVM extenders where separate hub power is beneficial

How to use

Recommendations

For installations with KVM extenders or multi-device setups, keep the grey connector attached for keyboard power and only plug the black connector when hub access is needed. Adjust backlight brightness to match ambient lighting to preserve visibility while avoiding unnecessary power draw.
