Mechanical Keyboard recommendation

Im looking at the CoolerMaster Quickfire rapid and I'm wondering if there was a backlit version of the same layout. Any other brand is ok. The Quickfire TK is about the same size but it has a wonky layout with the numpad (Which i dont wan't).

So essentially I want the same or almost similar layout as the Quickfire rapid, but with backlight. Individual backlit keys would be ideal, but not necessary. 

I play a lot of FPS, and do some moderate document typing. 

Any recommendations ? >$100 ( Was attracted to the $69 Price and the compact layout of the Quickfire rapid)

Thanks !

Well here's a few backlit boards i like, not sure if they would appeal to you.

Ducky Zero shine Cherry mx blues. You can get them in different switches to your liking.

Well, greater than $100, you have the Happy Hacking Pro 2, which is probably the best consumer choice that is easily found, with Topre switches (best on the market), amazing build quality, and overall amazingness, but in the $150 range, you have the Code Keyboard, which, with built in backlights, MX Clear switches, and hardware-level Dvorak, Colemak, and Qwerty support, is an attractive option.

You don't need backlight. Because if you look at the keyboard, you should stop doing it, and if you don't, it means that you are just showing off and you should stop doing it. 

Get a quickfire, it's good. 

ha ha ! yeah if i can't find anything then i'll probably go with the quickfire. Im looking for backlight cos i play usually in the night with dim or almost no light. So im gonna need it. 

No you aren't. You shouldn't look at your keyboard while playing any game.

Let him get a backlit keyboard and stop being a dork 

It's for his own good. 

My recommendation is to take a look at the SteelSeries 6GV2 mech keyboard
