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.

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.
