Pro Tools ASTRA 2 Backlit Keyboard for PC - UK English
Logickeyboard Pro Tools ASTRA 2 Backlit Keyboard for PC - UK English is a professional, wired shortcut keyboard tailored for Avid Pro Tools users and studio workstations that require visible, application‑specific legends in low light.
The ASTRA 2 combines a full‑sized, low‑profile scissor‑switch keyset with colour‑coded Pro Tools shortcut legends and five levels of dimmable white backlighting for comfortable, precise editing in dim control rooms. An integrated USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hub (with a separate hub cable) keeps commonly used peripherals close at hand without interfering with USB KVM extenders, while plug‑and‑play USB connectivity delivers immediate, driver‑free operation on Windows systems.
Designed for audio engineers, music producers and post‑production editors, the ASTRA 2 provides durable, studio‑grade key action (rated for ~10 million keystrokes), a compact footprint for desk efficiency, and a UK ISO layout for Windows PC environments.
