Everything but the bottom row and the 5 extra keys on for macros on the left.

You'll notice that the Windows/Context keys are 1 unit while the Ctrl and Alt keys are wider.

and would you say I should mind that much about it? Would get keycaps for it if they get bad but otherwise I don't really want to mod everything.
The spacebar is standard, right?

If you want to use different keycap sets, don't buy a Razer keyboard.
If you are statisfied with the stock Razer keycaps, don't buy a Razer keyboard.

EDIT:
The Razer keyboards have a non-standard bottom row and 5 macro keys.
Aftermarket keycap sets usuallly don't have the keys for the non-standard bottom row. Aftermarket keycap sets also do not include caps for the macro keys. So if you want a different set of keycaps, you will have a hard time finding a set, that will fit exactly on your Razer keyboard.
If you do not plan on buying other keycap sets, or you don't mind it, that other keycap sets won't fit 100%, you can buy the Razer keyboard.

No, the bottom row caps, Ctrl. Win, Alt, FN/Menu + the Spacebar is not a standard bottom row on the Chroma board. + The 5 marco caps at the left.

You can take a look in this link: http://www.maxkeyboard.com/mechanical-keycap-layout-and-size-chart.html



Ducky, Das, Deck, WASD + some more k-boards in the link have a standard bottom row.

Ctrl, Win, Alt and FN/Menu caps size are 1x1.25 and the Spacebar size is 1x6.25, a standard bottom row size.

I remember that due to am issue with the case or stabilizers or something of the like I couldn't fit a gmk set on there.
Don't ask me why I tried to put gmk on a razer; I didn't even own that board.
