FWIW the Rosewill supposedly have terrible printing on the keys. Reading through reviews they seem to indicate that the printing wears off after 3-4 months of use.

Any recommendations on wrist rests?

One of the other joys of a Model M. The keycaps (in a mesh laundry bag) and the upper frame go straight into the dishwasher.
