Product Information

Full details

This Logickeyboard is designed for music producers and audio editors working with Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo. Its primary benefit is accelerating workflow through clearly labeled, color-coded shortcut keys, significantly reducing the learning curve and increasing editing speed. A minor caveat is the need for two USB connections to utilize both keyboard and hub functionality. Key features include backlit keys with adjustable brightness, dedicated Cubase/Nuendo shortcuts, a built-in USB hub, and scissor-switch keys for a comfortable typing experience.

FAQs

Do I need to install any software for this keyboard?

No, the Logickeyboard is a plug-and-play device and requires no software installation.

Can I use this keyboard with other software besides Cubase and Nuendo?

Yes, it functions as a standard QWERTY UK English keyboard and can be used with any application. However, the dedicated shortcut labels are specific to Cubase and Nuendo.

How do I adjust the backlight brightness?

The backlight has five selectable levels. You can adjust it through the keyboard's settings or dedicated function keys, though the specific method may vary. Generally, it's accessible via Fn key combinations.

What is the purpose of the two separate USB cables?

The grey USB cable powers the keyboard itself, while the black USB cable is solely for activating and powering the built-in USB 3.0 hub. Separating them helps avoid installation issues, especially with KVM extenders.

What is the keyboard's layout and language?

The keyboard features a QWERTY UK English layout.

Can I connect multiple devices to the USB hub?

The keyboard features one USB 3.0 Type-A port. You can connect one device at a time, such as a mouse, phone, or USB dongle. The actual speed and compatibility may vary depending on the connected device.

What is the key switch type, and how does it feel?

It uses low-profile scissor key switches, providing a light, responsive, and relatively quiet typing experience, similar to many modern laptop keyboards.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard is not recognized by the computer.

Ensure both USB cables (grey and black, if using the hub) are securely plugged into your computer. Try using different USB ports.

USB hub is not working.

Verify that the black USB cable is connected. Check that the device you are plugging into the hub is functioning correctly and does not require more power than the hub can supply.

Backlight turns off unexpectedly.

The backlight is designed to automatically dim after three minutes of inactivity to save power. This is a normal function. Press any key to reactivate it.

Keys are not responding or are acting erratically.

Restart your computer. If the issue persists, try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port or computer to rule out hardware conflicts or a faulty connection.
