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 Windows. The shortcut labels reflect Premiere Pro’s standard default keymap. The keyboard functions as a standard Windows keyboard regardless of your specific Premiere version or custom keymap settings.

Is there a Mac version of this keyboard?

Yes — see the LogicKeyboard Adobe Premiere Pro CC ASTRA 2 for Mac for the macOS-compatible version with Mac modifier keys.

How does this compare to using a standard 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. In a fast-paced production environment, this translates directly to faster turnaround times and fewer errors.

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. Watch the help video about the two cables for a quick visual explanation.

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. This is a common setup in professional Premiere Pro edit suites, keeping the workstation organized and reducing cable clutter.

Does this keyboard work with Adobe Premiere Pro on a laptop connected to an external monitor?

Yes — the ASTRA 2 connects via USB and works with any Windows laptop or desktop running Premiere Pro. The built-in USB hub also lets you connect additional peripherals without needing a separate hub.

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

Yes — all standard letter, number, and symbol keys are labeled alongside the Premiere Pro shortcuts. The keyboard functions as a full standard Windows keyboard for any application.

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

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. Students can learn shortcuts visually without memorization. Ask Ergo Works works with educational institutions on bulk orders. Contact our specialists for volume pricing.
