Keyboards today are miles ahead of keyboards 4 years ago when this launched. Prices are through the floor for features that used to be luxuries. Some gaming brands have caught up on things like acoustics, customization and typing feel, at least partially. But I wouldn't recommend an older board like this. The comparable price/MSRP is absolutely not realistic even if this was one of Razer's newest boards.
Becoming a keyboard enthusiast is like a curse, but maybe moreso because there's always that One More Thing that could be just a bit better. Sure this keyboard will work, and it'll look and feel a ton better than a membrane keyboard while lasting longer. But a proper, nice, modern board is as much better than this (at roughly similar price points, on sale) than this is compared to membrane.
You might live with it, not knowing the difference or what you're missing out on. But... $70 for an awful sounding non-wireless optical board with cable hardwired in, switches soldered, and Synapse bloatware mandatory? I think you can do a lot better. But you will get a nice lightshow and cozy wrist rest, I guess\~
