Type anywhere, even in your cave
The Das Keyboard Prime 13 wields white LED backlit keys with 7 levels of brightness. Plenty-enough settings even for desks located in challengingly-dark environments.
Improved cable management
With the extra-long braided cable and its rectangular shape, the Prime 13 keeps you knolling more then ever.
Connect any device with a USB pass-through
Conveniently plug a mouse, thumb drive, headset, or phone directly into the keyboard's USB pass-through.
Save the planet. Your Prime 13 saves energy
The planet needs your help. Every bit counts. The Prime 13 has built-in energy saving features.
Sleep control function
Das Keyboard was one of the first to incorporate a computer sleep control to its keyboards. Having a computer sleep a few hours a day while you are away from your desk will make your power hungry 600-watt, eight-core, fire-breathing monster computer stop burning unnecessary energy when it is not needed.
LED auto-dim
The Prime 13 backlighting automatically dims after 10 minutes of inactivity. Even keyboards like naps.
Sidelit media controls
We rotated the LED switches to be front facing so that even the media controls icons located on the side of the keycaps are backlit. The best way to explain this is to create this new word, sidelit.
Knolling has never looked better
For the overachiever who likes to keep their desk clean, the Prime 13 has a place in the middle of your desk.
