How to activate backlit keys on the ASTRA series.

 

Mac
The backlit keys on the Mac ASTRA series can be activated by pressing FN + F5/F6. To activate the rest of the function keys on your mac ASTRA backlit keyboard, press FN + e.g. F6 or any other key in the function key row. Watch video here.

PC
Activate the backlit keys on your PC by pressing the dedicated key, located to the right of the spacebar and next the the "alt" key.

 

FN-Lock
The Alba & Astra 2 keyboards comes with an Fn-Lock. The Fn-Lock can be activated with the key combination Cmd+Fn and F-keys are used as multimedia control keys. To use the F-keys as regular F1, F2, etc. simply use the F-keys with the Fn modifier. A glance at the Fn Lock light tells you which mode you are in. Here is a link to a video description: FN-Lock



Why have two cables on the ASTRA series?

The ASTRA keyboard is developed with two USB cables. One for the keyboard itself, and one for the USB hub, at the back of the keyboard. The reason for having a separate cable for the USB hub, is to avoid problems with installations, that require a KVM extender.

To power the keyboard, you need to plug in the grey USB connector. If you need to activate the USB hub, on the back of the keyboard, you need to plug in the black USB connector. Watch video about the two cables here.





Why does my Apple keyboard F-keys not work?

To make all the functions keys working as Function keys, you must either press the Fn key (not present on Windows keyboard) and then the function key of choice, or you may use a preference for turning the F Key Presets on and off.

1. Click the blue Apple logo in your top menu bar. 
2. Click System Preferences. 
3. Click Keyboard and Mouse. 
4. Click Keyboard Shortcuts and scroll down to the function keys - remove the markings, then all the functions keys work with the keyboard. 
5. Or use the check box for Standard Operation of F-keys.



 


Why does some or all keys on my Apple keyboard not work? (Mac OS X v10.4, 10.5 or later)

If some or all of the keys on your Apple keyboard don't seem to be working, use these tips from Apple to troubleshoot the issue.
