Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Chroma RM 599 ($136.07) [before discount RM 769 ($174.69)]

Corsair K70 RGB ($176.96) + Corsair M65 RGB ($61.12) = $204.22

Difference is $18, from software, noise, led and whatever which one is the best bang for buck

and why do people hate synapse, can you explain to me ?

It requires you to connect to the net the first time you activate your product to do any key mapping. To be clear it works out of the box as is but doing macros or anything is just not possible without it calling "home" first. Doesn't sound like much but there's literally 0 need to do so. It can be clunky and cause game crashes too but that's a whole nother issue.

I have also had issues with it in games but it's with poorly optimized ones so most function fine.

I use the Orion G910 Spark and the G600 both from logitech. Both are available for 180USD before tax from best buy. I know people that love the Corsair but I don't have experience with it.
