TKL with standard caps, Cherry MX Red, backlit.  I'll definitely be picking this up since I'm such a ROG fan.

Video removed...

Standard bottom row?

Not that I particularly care since I stay away from "gamer" stuff on principal, even though I am a gamer. It's usually 75% marketing BS, 20% fake bling, 5% functionality. I prefer a good, high quality mechanical keyboard made by a company that only makes mechanical keyboards.

Damn, did anyone grab a screenshot or have a backup of the video? I'm interested in seeing this board.

Looks pretty good for a "gamer" board. At least it has a standard bottom row so you can swap keycaps easily :) Quite compact, but a little tall for my taste. Better than the Corsair offerings.

Hmmm... It does look exactly like the Rosewill RGB80, doesn't it. If so, it may use the same Kailh switches, although the ROG Strix uses genuine Cherry MX, so it could really be either. Best to wait and see, I guess. I do like the design.
