If it has to be razer then the blackwidow would be a pretty good choice. Otherwise I suggest the Noppoo Choc Mini. It is the best keyboard I have ever used and can come with almost any cherry switch (blue/brown/black). The key layout is also great giving you easy access to the f1-4 and the alt key is in a good location for BW so you don't accidentally alt x.

The Black Widow is amazing, for both sc2 and in general. There's a new edition of it out, with silent keys, if you aren't a fan of loud mechanical keyboards

EDIT: About macro keys, are you asking what to do with them? You can always make them open up porgrams (Firefox, Mail, MSN, Steam) as I do

Speaking about the black widow.. any difference between the normal and stealth edition? i know they have a different switch but since i never used either don't really know what's best for starcraft, i'd prefer something that gives nice feedback when double clicking if that makes sense?

Yeah...late to the party but I was going to say if it had to be Razer (which I personally don't like but w/e) I'd pick the Blackwidow over any of their keyboards. At least you get a decent/entry-level mechanical out of the deal.
Stealth uses brown switches, which have slightly less tactile feedback and no clicking sound. If you only care about feedback and don't mind the extra noise then go with the regular (blue switch) blackwidows.

My area of expertise If you want a mechanical keyboard I would recommend the blackwidow personally I use a keyboard with cherry brown switches, however the only razer keyboard that is available is the backwidow silent. If you want starcraft functionality the razer marauder is probably your best bet.
