Full details
The Logickeyboard XLPrint ASTRA 2 is a full-size, high-contrast keyboard engineered for individuals with visual impairments and anyone seeking a high-visibility typing experience. It excels at reducing eye strain through its bold, large-print character design and adjustable backlit keys, though its wired-only connectivity means it lacks the versatility of a wireless setup.

FAQs
Is this keyboard compatible with Windows?
While designed primarily for Mac, the basic typing functions will work on most operating systems, though specific media keys may have limited functionality.
Does this keyboard require batteries?
No, the keyboard is wired and receives all necessary power directly through its USB connection.
Can I adjust the brightness of the backlighting?
Yes, there are five distinct levels of illumination brightness that can be toggled to suit your environment.
Does it have a numeric keypad?
Yes, it is a full-size 100% layout featuring a complete numeric keypad on the right side.
How do I clean the keys without damaging the backlighting?
Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Backlighting does not turn on
Ensure the keyboard is plugged into a primary USB port directly on the computer rather than a passive external hub, as the backlighting requires consistent power.
USB 3.0 hub peripherals not recognized
Verify that the keyboard's primary cable is securely seated in your computer and check if the peripheral requires more power than the hub can supply.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the ASTRA 2 is a simple plug-and-play process. Connect the USB cable directly to an available USB port on your Mac to initiate power and data connectivity. The built-in hub is self-powered via the connection to your computer, though it is recommended to plug the keyboard into a powered hub if you are connecting high-draw devices like external hard drives. To care for your keyboard, wipe the surface with a dry or lightly dampened lint-free cloth. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keys to prevent moisture from entering the scissor-switch mechanism.
