Logickeyboard Astra 2 Avid Media Composer Keyboard for macOS

The Logickeyboard Astra 2 Avid Media Composer Keyboard for macOS is a dedicated editing keyboard built for Avid Media Composer users who want faster access to shortcuts without giving up a standard typing layout. It combines colour-coded keys, a 104-key scissor-switch design with adjustable backlighting, and plug-and-play setup, plus an integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for connecting accessories.

Shortcut-focused key layout

The ASTRA 2 is built specifically for Avid Media Composer, with colour-coded shortcut keys that make common commands easier to find at a glance. It also keeps the standard letter, number and symbol layout of a conventional macOS keyboard, so it can still be used comfortably for general typing and day-to-day computer work.

Backlit keys for low-light editing

The keyboard uses 104 scissor-switch keys with adjustable backlighting across five brightness levels, which is useful in darker edit suites or low-light production environments. The scissor-switch design also gives a low-profile, laptop-style key feel, while the rated lifespan of up to 10 million key presses is suited to regular editing use.

Full-size layout for broader workflow tasks

Beyond editing shortcuts, the full-size layout includes a complete function key row and a numpad. That makes it more practical for workflows that move between Media Composer, file management, metadata entry, spreadsheets, scripts or production documents.

Simple connectivity and built-in USB port

The ASTRA 2 is designed for macOS and works as a plug-and-play keyboard, so there is no extra driver or software installation required. It also includes an integrated USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port for connecting accessories such as a mouse or controller. The keyboard uses two USB cables to power both the keyboard and the USB hub, which helps avoid interference when used with USB extenders.
