I've heard a lot of bad things about Razer software, and I too think their keys are too clicky (from in-store testing ofc).

 

I've heard a lot of good things about Logitech keyboards, though not much about their software. 

 

What is your max budget?

ok. 

If these were my options, I'd probably take the Logitech. It comes with a wrist rest, which the Razer does not appear to have.

Though, I do think they both look nice and I'd assume that for the price that they are both of decent quality.

Razer is only goof ro cosmetic looks,  Grab the Logitech and don't look bad.  I purchased the first ever Razer product back in 2000 , with their Boomslang ball mouse.  Every mice of theirs I own has a sensitivy problem.  If you listen to music with bas the mouse starts moving around and dancing on the screen without you touching it.  As soon as I went to Logitech the problem was gone,, no matter how much the bass was thumping the mouse cursor did not move at all and sits still.  Horrible mice they have, their HP's blow too and their keyboards are ok, but nothing to write home about.

No keyboard has grip on it.  You mean like rubbery feel ?

Not the G513, as it uses Romer G switches. Meaning you can't get aftermarket keycaps, and the switch is more optimised for RGB than key feel. 

Do you want a clicky, tactile or linear switch? The Masterkeys Pro L PBT costs £84 on Amazon UK, comes with nice keycaps and a standard bottom row. Unfortunately Cherry switches, though, Blue and Red.
