Logickeyboard Astra 2 Overview

The Logickeyboard ASTRA 2 Backlit Keyboard for Adobe After Effects CC features an elegant, black keyboard with low-profile scissor-switch keys for a light, yet responsive feel. With five selectable light levels, the ASTRA 2 is the perfect choice for any lighting conditions. The keyboard features a USB 3.0 hub to enable you to connect a mouse, phone, contour shuttle, or a USB-dongle.

The ASTRA 2 keyboard is developed with two USB cables; a gray one for the keyboard itself, and a black one for the USB hub to avoid problems with installations that require a KVM extender. In addition, the ASTRA 2 has a full-sized F-row and multimedia keys to provide full control and effectiveness.

To power the keyboard, you need to plug in the gray USB connector. If you need to activate the USB hub on the back of the keyboard, plug in the black USB connector. The Adobe After Effects Logickeyboard also features all the regular letters, numbers, and symbol labelling that you will find on a conventional keyboard, it can simply be used as a substitute for it. The keyboard is easy to plug in and requires no software installation.

Solid Keyboard

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-07-15

I've been editing with Avid Media Composer (MC) for over 30 years. I've gone through multiple keyboards, including the AVID and Macally keyboards over the years. This is a dedicated MC keyboard, and there's room at the top, above the keys, to add "macro" info. I had an earlier version where the "space" key eventually failed. These scissor keys seem more durable, but I did add the Allstate "drops and spills" coverage due to the heavy use. I recommend it.

I love these keyboards. This is a newer version of one I already had. The silver is sleek.

Is the astra 2 for avid MC also compatible with premiere? Can it be made compatible with premiere shortcut key mapping?
Asked by: Antony
Technically, the Logickeyboard ASTRA 2 Avid Media Composer Keyboard for macOS (Silver) could be used with Premiere and there are keyboard mapping options in Premiere which could approximately match the AVID commands, though it may not be quite exact. This may be useful if you need to switch between both programs on the same computer.
