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.
Prime 13 has 2 USB plugs, one for the keyboard and one for the USB pass-through port, the keyboard and backlighting will work without the USB for the pass-through port connected.

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.

Laser engraved aluminum label

Forget stickers. Find excellence down to the laser-engraved aluminum label under the keyboard.

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.

Connecting users to the machine

The Prime 13 is a minimalist, beautiful, and rock-solid keyboard that seamlessly connects the user to the machine for maximum creativity and productivity. Focus on the task at hand and let the keyboard disappear from your mind, seamlessly connecting it to your work displayed on the monitor.

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.

I like the backlit keys and the quietness of the keys. I also likje that it's a really heavy keyboard. However, I have very big handsfingers and I find myself often mispressing adjacent keys. I am sure most people will have no issues here. One thing to note is that I missed in the description that the Prime 13 has 2 USB plugs, one for the keyboard and one for a USB pass-through port. So I was a bit surprised by the split cable. I have used a Cherry MX3000 keyboard for years and I loved its generous key spacing. However, it has no backlighting and is very noisy and has a huge footprint.

This is a very slight improvement to the previous DasKeyboard I used. (Removals got mine broken shifting offices otherwise I'd probably still have been able to use it as the world ended).

The new (redder?) Cherry Red is essentially silent. It's also got almost no click to it. I used to think that was a problem, it's probably something you should know if you can't try one first. I've very much come around to that.

So nearly perfect I've ended up buying two
