If you scroll alllllllllllllll the way to the bottom then you'll see it.

There's the regular backlit QuickFire Rapid and backlit QuickFire Stealth.  I believe this is the first ever application on backlit front printed keycaps.

lol granted "backlit" and "stealth" sounds contradictory but I think it looks pretty cool.  :thumb:

From TFA:

"What was most exciting to us was Cooler Master's introduction of the new Novatouch TKL. WHile it is based on the standard Quickfire TK platform, it differs from the rest by not using Cherry MX mechanical switches. Instead it uses "Electrostatic Capacitive Switches", which to keyboard enthusiasts will be recognized as Japanese Topre switches. The Novatouch TKL will likely retail around (or possibly under) the $200 price point, which provides a very attractive and more affordable alternative to the current options for Topre-based keyboards: Realforce and Happy Hacking keyboards."

Based on QF TK?

I don't think so Tim!

In other news, that 3x140mm radiator looks ridiculous.

I don't think so Tim!

lol yeah no chance it's TK, I think he meant QFR.  Also both the Novatouch and the new backlit models are all based off QFR.

But I wonder when it's coming out, both are kinda not really officially announced yet.
