you may have heard of these guys before they're called Das Keyboard in fact I think I recall I've done videos on various - keyboards in the past but they've got something new that they're bringing to the game now if you're unfamiliar with them they do mechanical keyboards that are legendary they're like Mavis beacons best friend Mavis Beacon reference she taught you how to type as a kid home row I still don't type properly no I'm like picking and picking anyway what I noticed it didn't exist on my previous tasks keyboard is now white back lighting it's called the prime 13 high-performance mechanical keyboard the ultimate experience for badasses and they wrote it right on a box it's kind of aggressive now you can't get it with other switches if you prefer MX blue or so on anodized aluminum top panel for improved durability that's cool full n key rollover for faster gaming or typing USB port right on it and a key cap puller to remove keys for place keys and so on legends in the keyboard game and they got the newest they got the latest and they got the greatest here's what we're looking at my understanding is the top deck is now completely aluminum which I'm pretty pumped for Jack you've got a desk keyboard your desk right now they're not messing around this up here yes that's aluminum it's it's it's black but it's kind of got like a luminescence to it like it's picking up the light a little bit and almost looking kind of gray clicky but there's no like switch click I mean I mean if that's the noise it turns you on you got it here they went to the traditional feet on there I kind of like that I think you might switch to this one you probably want to switch to this one well I don't know if you can or not I might which to this braided cable in here now it terminates into two USB cables gold-plated pretty nice and the reason for that is you do have you have another USB port here now it's only USB 2.0 I guess it could have been nice fou 3.0 but that should work for at least charging up your phone connecting a USB thumb drive etc it's nice to have an extra one right on your desktop so that's all fine and dandy Lou but what about the new feature and function what about the backlight so let's dim some lights here and watch this baby glow boom comes to life with this really nice white backlighting as you can see now there are levels to it you can control that up here via the F keys you see they've sort of utilized the side of the keys along top to show you the different functions available from volume the media buttons over here for play pause next and so on and then controls for the brightness of the backlight whether you want it on or don't want it on I mean why would you want a backlit keyboard I guess it's pretty obvious you're in a dimly lit environment or you just want more contrast on the keys when you're working at night what I like about - keyboard is it's a little bit understated when they do something it's like yeah we get it you want a game alright we're gonna we want to give you the mechanical key switches we know you're a power user but we're not going to go over the top with it you can have a nice white backlight pick your key switches and end up with something a little more subtle but still functional and new prime 13 Das Keyboard I don't know if it's the first backlit version but it's the first one that I've seen and I think it's just a you know it's a little tweak on something that's already really good like I said this one is on Jack's desk right now while the old version of it
