Frequently Asked Questions

Does this keyboard work with Unreal Engine 5 and earlier versions?

The shortcut labels are designed for Unreal Engine 5 on Windows PC. The keyboard functions as a standard PC keyboard for any Windows application regardless of your specific UE version.

Is there a Mac version of this keyboard for Unreal Engine?

Yes — Ask Ergo Works also carries the Unreal Engine 5 Mac ASTRA 2 (LKB-UNREAL-A2M-US) for macOS. Browse our full keyboard collection or contact our specialists for guidance.

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 studio environments. You only need to plug in the grey cable to use the keyboard; the black cable activates the USB hub.

Can I connect peripherals to the keyboard’s USB hub?

Yes — the built-in USB 3.0 hub is ideal for connecting a mouse, USB dongle, or other peripherals directly from the keyboard, keeping your Windows Unreal Engine workstation organized.

Can this keyboard be used as a regular PC keyboard when not using Unreal Engine?

Yes — all standard letter, number, and symbol keys are labeled alongside the UE5 shortcuts. The keyboard functions as a full standard PC keyboard for any Windows application.

Is this keyboard suitable for virtual production and architectural visualization workflows in UE5?

Yes — the keyboard covers UE5 shortcuts used across game development, virtual production, architectural visualization, simulation, and film/TV workflows. The color-coded layout helps artists and technical directors navigate UE5’s tools efficiently regardless of their specific use case.
