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.
Every detail matters
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.
Cherry MX brown Switch.
Trusted quality
Das Keyboard uses best-in-class, Cherry MX RGB brown mechanical key switches that provide tactile and audio feedback so accurately it allows you to execute every keystroke with lightning-fast precision. Its high-performance, gold-plated switches provide the best contact and typing experience because, unlike other metals, gold does not rust, increasing the lifespan of the switch.

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.
KEEP YOUR SPACE CLEAN
EXTRA LONG BRAIDED CABLE
The Prime 13 sports a 2-meter (6.5ft) braided USB cable that goes through desk grommets to keep the desk clean.

The tactile responsiveness when I push a key is so satisfying. It’s silly but it also makes me feel productive, each keystroke an audio reminder that I’m one step closer to my goal.
