This allows you to visually identify which shortcut belongs to which application at a glance, even when switching rapidly between the two on Mac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the dual USB cable design for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
