Frequently Asked Questions

Which version of Premiere Pro is this keyboard designed for?

The LogicKeyboard ASTRA 2 is designed for Adobe Premiere Pro CC on macOS. The shortcut labels reflect Premiere Pro’s standard default keymap. The keyboard functions as a standard Mac keyboard regardless of your specific Premiere version or custom keymap settings.

Is there a PC/Windows version of this keyboard?

Yes — see the LogicKeyboard Adobe Premiere Pro CC ASTRA 2 for PC for the Windows-compatible version with standard PC modifier keys.

Does this keyboard work with Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, M4)?

Yes. The ASTRA 2 is a standard USB HID keyboard compatible with Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS. No drivers or software installation required — plug in the grey USB cable and it works immediately.

How does this compare to using a standard Mac keyboard with Premiere Pro?

With a standard keyboard, Premiere Pro shortcuts require memorization of dozens of key combinations with no visual reference. The ASTRA 2 puts every shortcut in front of you with color-coded graphical labels — dramatically reducing the learning curve for new editors and speeding up workflows for experienced editors.

What is the dual USB cable design for?

The ASTRA 2 uses two USB cables: a grey cable for the keyboard itself and a black cable for the built-in USB 3.0 hub. This separation prevents conflicts with KVM extenders commonly used in post-production facilities. You only need to plug in the grey cable to use the keyboard; the black cable activates the USB hub.

Can I connect a Contour ShuttlePRO to the keyboard’s USB hub?

Yes — the built-in USB 3.0 hub is ideal for connecting a Contour ShuttlePRO, USB dongle, or other peripherals directly from the keyboard, keeping your Mac workstation organized and reducing cable clutter.

Can this keyboard be used as a regular Mac keyboard when not using Premiere Pro?

Yes — all standard letter, number, and symbol keys are labeled alongside the Premiere Pro shortcuts, and Mac modifier keys (Command, Option, Control) are properly labeled. The keyboard functions as a full standard Mac keyboard for any macOS application.

Is this keyboard suitable for Premiere Pro training or media education programs on Mac?

Yes — the color-coded shortcut labels make the ASTRA 2 an excellent teaching tool for Premiere Pro courses, film school programs, and corporate video training on Mac. Ask Ergo Works works with educational institutions on bulk orders. Contact our specialists for volume pricing.
