Logickeyboard Astra 2 Reviews

Overall very nice for Resolve

By Matthew
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-03-04

This keyboard is a nice addition to my setup. Being able to see all the key commands laid out on a backlit keyboard is awesome, especially for someone who is not a full-time video editor.   That said, I've been using mechanical switches for years now, so it's a bit of a transition and I will always prefer mechanical.  One other nitpick is the size of the USB cable. I don't mind a wired keyboard, but the cable is just too thick and non-pliable. Nitpicks aside, this is a well-constructed keyboard the presents good value. I would make the purchase again. The backlighting is very good, the markings on the keys seem like they will be fine for many years, and the feel is decent for a membrane keyboard.

Best Protools Keyboard Ever!

I have been using these keyboards for years, great in low light which is how I always edit. Amazing feel and with the Protools keys laid out for me, it makes it handy. I use it on the mix stage as well.

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.
