If they price it the same as the black switch then this will be one of the cheapest red switch board you can get? Sounds like a smart move except the key layout is still too weird.
Personally I already owned a Filco mx red full size so doesn't really matter for me but I think I'd recommend this to people who are jumping into their first mechanical keyboard and want a full size mx red board and doesn't have too much money to spend, for tenkeyless cm storm quickfire rapid is till the best :P
Although comparing this to the corsair k60 it feel like watching a 3 legged race, it's like do you want half mechanical keys or do you want weird layouts? Sigh I guess you really do get what you pay for lol
Budget Full Size:
Blackwidow - MX Blue
CM Storm QuickFire Pro - MX Brown
SteelSeries 6GV2 - MX Red
SteelSeries 6GV2 - MX Black
Budget Tenkeyless:
CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - All Switches
Quality Full Size and Tenkeyless:
Filco - All Switches
Quality Backlit:
Ducky - All Switches
Sounds about right?

Those Mx Red 6g v2 costs like $25 more than the usual Mx Black ones in Sweden.
I think the Rosewill Mx Red is the best cheapest Mx Red board for US people and that for EU the QPAD MK-50 is the "best" one for the cheapest price.

QF Pro also comes in red switch for same price as brown.

Ahhhhhhhh damn too bad they don't have the QuickFire Pro with Red in Canada. I'll probably ask my friend to get a Rosewill then, he just might need to solder the connector himself to ensure it doesn't break lol

I thought the rosewill was cheaper than the $99 (what the 6GV2 red is at when I checked just now) when it's (Often) on sale.
