Yup... I was looking forward to the Quickfire Stealth. But now I kind of changed my mind, not completely. I still have time to think. Anyways, to keep it short!

I'm really looking forward to some good keyboard manufacturers. Since I am not so familiar with a lot of keyboards, I'm an newb, and this will be my first one.

Requirements:

Cherry Red switches

Tenkeyless

Backlit (If not backlit, preferably side printed keycaps).

Price would be around 100-150$ dollars. Maybe more. But for now just throw everything at me. (Except the Quickfire Stealth).
---------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not comfortable with making this topic at all though. Makes me look really spoiled, look at this, look at that, find me that... (Excuses, excuses). And as I said again, I'm not really comfortable asking someone else for looking stuff that I need. I am a newbie... And I don't have my glasses either, so I need to spend minimum type at the computer.

Ducky Shine TKL (with your choice of backlight colour).

Version 3 is apparently coming out soon. You might find it difficult to get a Shine 2 now.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
