Macro Buttons gone? Am so confused by current Razer keyboard offerings

I have everything Razer, so when things fail, like my Razer Blackwidow Chroma Stealth keyboard (6 years old), I kinda have to replace it with new Razer gear.

I have 2-3 keys that do not register 100% of the time and is annoying (which really makes me second guess the reliability of mechanical switches), so I look at buying a new Razer keyboard, and find that Razer no longer sells any keyboards at all with extra macro buttons, which I use.

I just don't understand this, you have so many different models, yet they are all so very similar I cant even tell you the difference between a Blackwidow and a Huntsman and a Ornata and all the different variants between them. But not one is the full sized/full featured keyboard I want.

Hell, 15 years ago, before RGB and mechanical keys, that is what made a gaming keyboard, was the macro buttons.

Now I'm forced to buy a new keyboard and something like an Elgato Streamdeck if I want the same capability, and new hassle of not letting Synapse do everything.

I feel your pain, I have a 2013 black widow, an now I can't upgrade it to have in sync with my other razer products because there are no current macro key options on any of the current razer lines.
