Not the greatest sale in the world, but still not bad for a red board in Canuckistan.

I'm tempted, but not sure I'd like the reds, so I'll pass.  Yes, I know, what kind of geekhacker am I?

Apparently, it's not just for Canadians, it's on sale on the US site as well: 99.99$ with free shipping.

If it was tenkeyless I'd be all over it.  I don't know if I can go back to a fullsize board, despite the great price for switches I want. :(

Yep exactly.  I'm all about the tenkeyless stuff these days, using a full sized board feels so ... big and my trackpad is too far over for my liking.  That is a good price for Canada though.  Now if we could just get someone selling tenkeyless stuff here ...

I'm the same, if they made a tenkeyless, I'd get two.

Sadface.

Besides importing stuff and buying from a fellow GHer, I know of no way to get a tenkeyless in Canada.  That's very, very disappointing, but somewhat expected...

Since Rosewill started making ones with different switches, maybe they'll do a tenkeyless.  That would rock!

I think it's just a matter of time for some of the OEM manufacturers to start offering a TKL form factor.  WASD Keyboards says they will have TKL coming next year at some point.  I imagine that others will be available around the same time.  Now whether we get someone stocking them in Canada I'm not sure, but importing sucks at the end user level.
Title: Updated: 20% off with promo code on all switch models

Well, the deal on the red switch keyboard is gone, but now you can get 20% off any of the rosewill mechanicals on newegg.ca with the coupon code "rosekeybo".  Not as good as it was for the red switches, but for blue it's neat (80$ + 8$ shipping) and for the browns it's pretty neat because they've always been mildly expensive in Canada (88$ + 8$ shipping).

Good to see that promo finally come to Canada, I gather it's been done several times already on the US newegg site.

The red Rosewill is now on sale for $80 with free shipping!

It almost looks like the brown is at $80 but it keeps showing up at $110 for me even though doing a search says it should be $80. Must be an error.
