Logickeyboard Adobe PhotoShop CC Astra 2 PC Keyboard - Black

No, this Logickeyboard is designed for plug-and-play functionality. All the shortcut commands are printed directly on the keys, and your operating system and Adobe Photoshop will recognize them without any additional software installation.

Yes, it functions as a standard keyboard for all applications. It has regular letter, number, and symbol labeling. However, the specialized shortcut keys are most beneficial when using Adobe Photoshop.

The keyboard features five selectable light levels. You can adjust the brightness using the dedicated function keys, typically found in combination with the 'Fn' key, often indicated by a sun or light bulb icon.

The grey USB cable powers the keyboard itself and its backlighting. The black USB cable is specifically for activating and powering the integrated USB 3.0 hub. This separation is designed to prevent potential conflicts with certain system configurations, like KVM extenders.

This specific model is designed for PC (Windows) use. While it will function as a standard keyboard on macOS, the printed Photoshop shortcuts will not correspond to the default macOS Photoshop shortcuts. For Mac compatibility, a dedicated Mac version would be required.

The keyboard utilizes low-profile scissor-switch keys, which provide a light and responsive typing feel, suitable for extended editing sessions.

Ensure both USB cables (grey for keyboard, black for hub if used) are securely plugged into active USB ports. Try connecting to different USB ports. Restart your computer.

Verify that the grey USB cable is connected, as it powers the keyboard and its lighting. Check if the brightness level is set to the minimum (off) and cycle through the levels using the function keys.

Confirm that the black USB cable for the hub is connected to a working USB port on your computer. Ensure the connected device is compatible and drawing an appropriate amount of power. Try connecting a different device to the hub to test.

Ensure you are in the Photoshop application and that the correct keyboard layout is selected in your operating system settings. The keyboard relies on the software interpreting the key presses as shortcuts; no additional software is required for the keyboard itself.
