Someone mentioned macros, I have to say that they seem to be a bit.... superfluous. Most pros for games that I watch don't use them that often, or at least not that many. I know that for WoW some people use them for rotations or just to not have to bind their entire keyboard. I know that I've never used mine.

Well, for those of us that are decidedly not pro, they're very useful. In fact, I would probably say for that reason that they're so useful. Someone that's already so good that they're a professional at a tournament, I really doubt they would need something like that... some tournaments probably even ban that sort of thing.
If someone is super skilled they can perform very complex micro without breaking a sweat over and over, but normal users will have a hard time pulling it off even once... That's where macros come in and close the gap a bit so that those of us that aren't pro can do a little better.
It may just be for ease of use things too, like just making things easier for ourselves. I mean, I could hit a combination of something like (space down) (w down) (w up) (space up), but assigning it to a macro makes it a lot easier for me. And when you get to something more complex that you have to do super fast like {w down}{+ down}{RButton down}{w up}{+ up}{RButton up}{Space down}{w down}{w up}{space up} (repeat over and over) then that macro becomes incredibly useful. Not just for making certain gameplay things easier, but also to prevent stuff like carpel tunnel.

What game ARE you playing Tiff?
I meant that the argument typically used for macros is that "I need them because I'm good". That's what buying a gaming keyboard sort of says, does it not? When you get better at your hobby you buy nicer things for it.

the max keyboard nighthawk x9 is the same as the qpad mk 85 except with a braided cable and better all around build quality (they both use the same outer shell)

Too bad it isn't sold anywhere in Sweden or Norway according to Prisjakt -.-
