I got a used Razer Black Widow and I love it. People go refurbished for the price. Keyboards should be fine for refurbishing. There isn't a whole lot that could break.

Refurnished is when an item is returned to a manufacturer for whatever reason and then sold by a vendor. The item is checked before it is sold to make sure it is working. 

So basically it's just used hardware that is checked and repaired if broken

Nope none. In fact I like it more than my last one (I spilled water on it). This is the 2014 edition. i'd say I have had it atleast 9 months.
