LogicKeyboard Autodesk Smoke ASTRA2 MAC US

The LogicKeyboard Autodesk Smoke ASTRA2 MAC US is a 104-key keyboard designed for Autodesk Smoke users working on Mac systems. Color-coded and labeled shortcut keys place commonly used application commands directly at the workstation, giving editors and finishing operators a practical visual reference during day-to-day post-production work.

The ASTRA 2 uses scissor-switch key mechanisms and includes a full-sized F-row, multimedia controls, five levels of white backlighting, and a fixed USB-A connection. An integrated USB-A 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 port provides an additional connection point for compatible peripherals, while the keys are rated for up to 10 million keystrokes for regular use in edit and finishing environments.

Why It Helps

Autodesk Smoke operators regularly move between editing, timeline, effects, and finishing commands during a session. Having those shortcuts labeled directly on the keyboard keeps common functions visible and reduces the need to stop and search through software menus for less familiar commands.

The five-level backlight is useful in post-production rooms where ambient lighting can vary throughout the day. Operators can raise or lower the white illumination to keep the shortcut legends readable without making the keyboard unnecessarily bright in darker monitoring environments.

The fixed USB-A connection suits permanent workstation installations, while the integrated USB-A port provides an extra connection point directly at the desk. Combined with the scissor-switch mechanism and a rating of up to 10 million keystrokes, the ASTRA 2 is suited to regular use in Mac-based edit and finishing rooms
