Logickeyboard LKB-CBASE-A2M-UK Keyboard Universal USB QWERTY UK English Black

The Logickeyboard ASTRA 2 for Steinberg Cubase & Nuendo is a full-size wired USB keyboard in black with a UK English QWERTY layout. It features low-profile scissor-switch keys for a responsive typing feel, a full F-row, multimedia keys and a built-in USB 3.0 hub. The keyboard is delivered with two separate USB cables: a grey cable to power and connect the keyboard itself and a black cable to activate the USB hub when needed. No software installation is required.

Advantages

The ASTRA 2 offers adjustable backlighting with five selectable light levels to suit different studio lighting conditions, scissor-switch keys for quiet and accurate typing, and a full-size layout that includes a complete F-row and multimedia controls. The separate USB cables reduce compatibility issues with setups that use KVM extenders, while the integrated USB hub allows connection of peripherals such as a mouse, phone or USB dongle.

Suitable for

• Music production with Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo
