FAQs

Do I need to install software for this keyboard?

No, typically no special software is required. The keyboard is designed to work with the built-in shortcut recognition of Presonus Studio One and standard operating system drivers.

Can I customize the shortcuts on this keyboard?

The keyboard comes pre-programmed with over 150 Studio One shortcuts. Customization of these specific key assignments is generally not supported by the hardware itself; customization would need to occur within Presonus Studio One's own shortcut settings if the software allows for remapping.

Is the backlighting brightness adjustable?

Yes, the backlit keys usually feature integrated controls, often accessed via function (Fn) keys, allowing you to adjust the brightness level or turn the backlighting off.

Will this keyboard work with other DAWs like Pro Tools or Ableton Live?

While the standard letter keys will function for general typing in any application, the dedicated color-coded shortcuts are specifically designed for Presonus Studio One. They will not automatically map to shortcuts in other DAWs.

What type of USB connection does it use?

It uses a standard USB Type-A connector for connection to your computer.

Is this keyboard compatible with macOS?

Yes, the Editors Keys Presonus Studio One Backlit Keyboard is compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems.

How do I clean the keyboard?

Clean the keyboard using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water, ensuring no liquid enters the keyboard mechanism. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer.

Backlit keys not working or flickering

Check the USB connection. If there are brightness controls on the keyboard, ensure it's not set to the lowest setting or off. Try connecting to a different USB port, preferably one directly on the computer rather than a hub.

Some Studio One shortcuts not functioning

Verify that Presonus Studio One is the active application. Ensure no other software is intercepting these key commands. Check within Studio One's preferences to confirm shortcut settings haven't been altered.

Keys feel unresponsive or sticky

Gently clean the affected keys with a dry microfiber cloth. If the issue persists, a more thorough cleaning may be required, but avoid liquids directly on the keys.
