I'd take the Corsair over the Alienware given the former uses genuine Cherry switches while there's no specific mention of the manufacturer for Alienware.

If you *really* want macros, however... Look at Tipro boards, a Model M 122, Model F 122, or just a separate macropad with whatever other keyboard you please.

Wouldn't this question be better answered on Geekflap, instead of here?

This place is for serious keyboard users that concentrate upon other keyboard switches, besides the Cherry MX monstrosity.

Although you would do better to buy a keyboard with Macros, then de-solder their horrid switches and replace them all with BOX Jades or Navy switches made by Kailh.

I always wonder why some are so keen on bashing Cherry MX switches.
"monstrosity", "horrid switches" - reminds me of tweets by… ahem… isn't that slamming just for the sake of slamming?
