Rantopad MT (full size) or MXX (TKL) with gateron reds.
White lighting. MT has replaceable upper panel if you can't stand the green. MXX available in gunmetal grey or blue
These do NOT have the macro keys like the K95 though.
Corsair has a non-standard bottom row, making it hard to replace the caps. Eventually all caps will wear, and the thin stock ABS caps that come with Corsair wear fast. Corsair only has middling build quality, yet they command premium prices.
Browns do have a higher reset point, but much closer than Blues.

Rantopad MXX. It will be cheaper at Rantopad's site if you do not have Prime.
Hey, i have this guy, could do 40 + 1/2 shipping. It has backlit gateron blue switches and is in great shape. looks better in person. I like it but it's just too noisy to use in an office haha.
I also have a g710 with cherry blue switches not as noisy, but bigger. Can do 50+ 1/2 shipping for that guy! timestamps of the 710Sold!Black Drevo (with reds): https://www.amazon.com/DREVO-Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Switch-Black/dp/B01K4GXJMA/

The Rantopad MXX is a Chinese-made TKL board with an aluminum faceplate, bright LEDS, and Gateron switches, which are a delight to type on. They're incredibly smooth and are pretty well liked among this community. I own one myself (Gateron reds) and I would definitely recommend it. It's going on amazon for sub $50 which is an amazing price for a Gateron switch keyboard.
You can also order it with Blue Gateron switches instead of red if you want tactile switches instead of linear. It's a great intro mechanical keyboard and because of its compact size and detachable USB cable I still use it today as my travel mechanical keyboard for when I'm at friends' houses or work.
They keycaps are low quality and you won't be able to replace them fully.
More options:
Not sure if these are available in your area, sorry about that.
Rantopad MXX - not really minimalist, but it's the only Gateron TKL I know of
Magicforce 68 - Not really a TKL, but it's minimalist and uses Gaterons.
The main problem with Gateron switches is that they aren't really used in pre-built boards that often. They're fantastic if you're building your own though.
Rantopad MXX w/ Gateron Reds.
The Rapid-i is currently on sale at Amazon for exactly $100, plus a $10 mail-in rebate. The initial wave apparently had some QA issues with the LEDs, but it's my understanding that they've fixed it.
But that price is only for the brown switches. If you want to stick to reds, there's also the Rantopad. These are Gateron switches instead of Cherry. Some people actually prefer them. You can also get the version with the blue top for a few more bucks.
This is probably one of the best ones you can get with your budget that has RGB/red LED that's also not a blue switch. Most of the cheapest keyboards all come with blue switches.
If you drop the condition of specifically red LED to maybe just backlit and fullsize with not blue switches, it opens up more options but I say just go through all the keyboards in that list and check them out. You want any switch other than blue switches basically as they're the clicky ones.
You won't find what you're looking for unless you go used or off-brand.
There's this keyboard that's $60
Or this one that is $50 but is off brand.
Personally I'd go for real Cherry switches because they're a bit more consistent but it's your game. If you want anything cheaper but still real try r/hardwareswap
real as in a trusted brand with real Cherry MX switches
If the color isnt for you you could go with this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01B7I384S/ref=cm_cr_srp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 there's a RGB version for I think $25 more. Or you could just get the logitech g610 or whatever for $80
I’ve never tried the G213 - is it similar to cherry browns? I bought the Rantopad MXX with Gateron reds as my first mech kb and it hasn’t failed me yet. Was super loud at first but I dampened the keys using o-rings - those shits are magical!
Does the Rantopad MXX use standard keycap sizing (especially the bottom row and spacebar)? I want to put my shiny new NPKC Rainbow caps on this board but I wanna make sure they'll fit first.
Well, depending on the size, you have 2 options.

TKL: https://www.amazon.com/Rantopad-MXX-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01B7I384S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1486411988&sr=8-3&keywords=rantopad
I'm looking to get a budget floating key TKL with a white backlight and red/brown switches, I've narrowed it down to three options.
Rantopad MAXX
DREVO 87-key
Motospeed K87S
Opinions?
If you don't mind 75% instead of TKL you can get the Drevo Gramr.
If you do mind, the Rantopad MXX is a good choice.
> only switch better for fps IMO is the Gateron clear
