The cool white exterior combined with its RGB backlighting gives the K68 Angel a clean, sophisticated look. It’s fairly small, though, and not suited to those with larger hands. It lacks a number pad, but does have dedicated cursor keys.

It can operate in either wired or wireless modes, so it’s easy to share between multiple devices, or to pack into a rucksack and use when you’re out and about. It has three dedicated wirelessconnection settings, so can seamlessly switch between three computers and/or tablets without having to dig into the Bluetooth settings.

The battery can last up to six months if you don’t use the lighting, or 12 days with the lights continually on. With the driver and software installed, you can unlock a new range of personalisation, key mapping, and lighting configurations to suit your particular mood.
