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

The ASTRA 2 backlit keyboard is a black, low-profile keyboard with scissor-switch keys designed for a light and responsive typing experience. It offers five selectable backlight levels to suit various lighting conditions and includes a USB 3.0 hub for connecting devices such as a mouse, phone, contour shuttle or a USB dongle. The keyboard uses two separate USB cables: a grey cable to power the keyboard and a black cable to activate the USB hub, which helps avoid installation issues with KVM extenders. The full-sized F-row and dedicated multimedia keys provide standard key layout and additional control, and the keyboard functions as a direct substitute for a conventional keyboard without requiring software installation.

Advantages

The ASTRA 2 combines a slim scissor-switch key mechanism with adjustable backlighting for comfortable typing in different light environments. The integrated USB 3.0 hub adds convenient connectivity while the dual-cable design separates keyboard power from hub power to improve compatibility with KVM setups. A full F-row and multimedia keys maintain familiar functionality and make the keyboard ready to use immediately after plugging in.
