I made the mistake of getting a Corsair K70 instead of a K95, and now I'm in the market for one of those peripherals that have 10-20 moddable keys that's supposed to sit next to your keyboard. Any suggestions on a good one?

You could try just using autohotkey scripts.  But if you insist on having one of those keypads, (I hate to say this but) razer orbweaver or Tartarus might be up your alley

This keyboard already allows macros on keys but It just doesn't feel right to me, those razer keypads have so many different functionalities that I feel like would go to waste since I'm just planning to give it non-gaming related macros

Doesn't matter if you're using it for gaming or not.  It still works the same.

I meant the hand rest and the thumbstick. Also, the price shoots up really high for it being mechanical and RGB. I think I'll go with this one http://www.amazon.com/Genovation-Controlpad-CP24-Keypad-CP24-USBHID/dp/B00O1ASXKO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1461006083&sr=1-1&keywords=macro+keypad
