I've been using the Redgear Invador Mk881 mechanical keyboard for the past few months, and I really like it. Compared to the hard-to-press keys of the membrane keyboards I was using earlier, this is a very smooth experience.
I want to buy a keyboard armrest. I've found a few; one is made of wood while the others are all foam. Can anyone suggest which one is better?
Professional Wood Craft wooden 11.8 in, smaller TKL arm rest, without mouse support, Rs. 399:
My keyboard is a full size one, so the above one will be smaller, but I don't use the number pad much, so placing it below the alphabet keys should be ok.
Tukzer, keyboard and mouse pad, Rs. 649:
Gorilla keyboard and mouse rest pad, Rs. 599:
Ant Esports keyboard rest pad only, Rs. 479:

Not specifically for Invador that I know of, but I did order a regular dust cover from Amazon for 400 or so, which has covers for CPU, monitor, and keyboard. I am using that cover for the Invador; it has a zip so that you can close it when you are not using the keyboard. Something like this:

You cant.. there is no market for such a product because the wired kb will anyway need a power source
@superczar Actually I came across this:
sterling-key.com
But, the damn thing is too costly and it will have to be imported.

and is a bulky device that contains a 21700 battery .. so really doesnt solve the wired problem anyway since you will have a cable going from keyboard to a bulky box instead of the PC ..@superczar Actually I came across this:

Reason for being expensive is it will be a really niche device since I cannot think of what problem it sets out to solve for
You can Mod your keyboard for that with a BT module, battery and charging board. YT has many videos.
Alternatively this (need to be imported) but you need to provide your own power source -
Bluetooth Adapter for Keyboard & Mouse « Handheld Scientific, Inc.
Turn a USB keyboard or Mouse into a Bluetooth one. USB, Bluetooth. Barcode Scanner, RFID Reader, Magnetic Strip Reader, Credit Card Reader. Smart Phones. Tablets iPhone, iPad,
One good option could be the Redgear invadoe Mk 881.
It comes at a decent price under 3k and the quality is justified.
Initially I bought a Redgear MM853 Shadow Blade (blue switch) which developed some issues in about 6 months, and after the rma , the shadow blade being out of stock gave me the option for an upgrade, to which I chose the Invador keyboard, as ShadowBlade costed Rs 2300 while Invador costed Rs. 3300.
The experience with blue switches has been good due to their tactile feel and the loud sound (noisy for some ppl) but I'd say the brown is a combo of red and blue switches. It is tactile and as well as soft touch for pressing.
Just my opinion, do check out the Invador too, would appreciate the after sale services offered by the company.

Yes, they fit the standard plus socket keycaps, so any mechanical keycap would fit right on.

since you mentioned this keyboard, let me tell you my story. In 2022 I ordered shadow blade. Within 1 year warranty period I had to get it replaced twice because of backlight issue or key not working. On the third time they said shadow blade is out of stock so we can send you a more expensive keyboard i.e. mk881. I accepted it and after 1.5 years some key randomlt stops w orking and then I jerk it off. Some num key backlight has stopped working. Regear is a mess, I aam never buying from them.
