Since late-night /g/ is nothing but le /v/ fingerpointing due to the fact that something has a backlight (or 20), allow me to give you the non-faggot niteposter answer, ahem:
Razer has a bad history when it comes to drivers, in that they're poorly-optimized and have memory leaks out the ass when they're joined at the hip with the god-awful Razer Synapse software, which makes SteelSeries Engine look lightweight. It doesn't help that WHILE it's advertised the software is optional, good luck configuring the features you paid $100+ for without it. Newer revisions apparently feature a set-and-forget version of Synapse that only needs to be run once, but it's too little, too late for the public opinion of their software
Material-wise, they're nothing special, the switches are a proprieary design that feel like the drunken one night stand of a brown and red, with half the reliability, as Razer has never been known for rock-solid parts. Like the switches in their mice, they feature cheap metal, which bends out of place, wears down and snaps, or just starts to have that trademark Razer "looseness", where the advertised snappiness is gone. They also all have that horrible goddamn rubberized shell and gloss finish that either rubs off or gets a grainy feel after the first couple months of usage, and this isn't covered by a warranty, which results in Razer support asking if you live in a bayou or still use swamp cooling
So: overpriced, and badly-made for said-overpricing. I guess they look dark and badass and shit, but if you wan't a mechanical keyboard for games that looks cool at a $100 price premium, you might as well get a Das with browns
