I need a new keyboard, and I want a 10 keyless or a 60 percent. Not sure which. My budget is $150, if that. Closer to $100 would be ideal. I want some linear switches. Any suggestions would be great. 

Thanks.

K65?

I already have a K70 RGB, I kind of want something different.

CM Quickfire TK?

Great suggestion, but I think I like the QuickFire Rapid. Looks pretty good and it's smaller than the TK. I've never owned a CM keyboard. They generally pretty good?

The Quickfire Rapid is a pretty good keyboard and it's made by Filco. You can't go wrong with it.

Alright, thanks guys! My K70 broke and I'm way too lazy to take off the o rings I put on it and ship it back. I also want a smaller keyboard since I have an extended mouse pad. 

I think I will go with the QuickFire Rapid. Looks like a solid keyboard. Does it have back lighting?

Yes I believe it is backlit :D

Only the Rapid-i has backlighting.

Would rather not pay the extra $15 for white LED when my setup is red. I'll probably just go with the Rapid if I can't find anything with red backlights under $100.
