Corsair has insane shipping charges. add $10.00 for almost any item. so their prices aren't as competive and you don't get refund on shipping cost so you would lose money if you returned. this is how amazon has absorbed so much marketshare.
At this price for a membrane keyboard, you're paying mostly for the aesthetics (including RGB), Corsair logo, and perhaps the extra macro keys.
Mechanical keyboards can be had at a similar price nowadays and will offer better feel/feedback, better accuracy & response to inputs for gaming (6-Key or N-Key Rollover, for example), durability/repairability (they're typically designed to last more keystrokes and individual switches can be replaced for hot-swappable boards), and customizability (switches can be as quiet or as loud as you want, can buy different keycaps for different aesthetics).
If you don't care about any of that and just want the Corsair logo w/ fancy RGB, go for it. If not, mechanical keyboards (even the cheaper ones on Amazon) can provide a better overall experience.
