LogicKeyboard Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo PC ASTRA2 US

The LogicKeyboard Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo PC ASTRA2 US is a wired shortcut keyboard designed for Steinberg Cubase 11 and Nuendo 9 users working on Windows systems. Its application-specific layout gives engineers, editors, and post-production operators a clear visual reference for commonly used commands while recording, editing, navigating timelines, and handling routine DAW work.

The ASTRA 2 uses low-profile scissor-switch keys for a light, responsive feel and includes five selectable levels of white backlighting for different studio lighting conditions. A fixed USB-A connection provides straightforward workstation integration, while the integrated USB-A port gives the operator an accessible connection point for compatible peripherals such as a mouse, phone, contour shuttle, or USB dongle.

Why It Helps

Cubase and Nuendo sessions involve frequent movement between recording, editing, navigation, and transport commands. Keeping those functions visible directly on the keyboard gives the operator a faster reference at the desk and reduces the need to interrupt a session by searching through application menus.

The five-level backlight is useful in studios and post-production rooms where ambient lighting can change throughout the day. Operators can adjust the white illumination to keep the key legends readable without making the keyboard unnecessarily bright during longer sessions.

The fixed USB-A connection suits permanent workstation setups, while the integrated USB port provides another connection point directly at the keyboard. That makes the ASTRA 2 a practical fit for Windows-based Cubase and Nuendo environments where direct wired operation and accessible peripheral connectivity are preferred.
