Well as a manufaturer, I wouldn't bother with Razer's products. I had a mouse once, didn't even last two years with pretty average gaming use, still cost the same as a Logitech (around 60$), which lasts double that time easily, and had better software. That all happened a few years past though, so I don't have any knowledge what they have done in regards to mice in the recent years. But I wouldn't bother with it anymore, anyway.
As for the keyboard, they are just farming the people that want to clean their keyboards, and next year they sell them the improved version with everything people are missing now. Easily forseeable.
I still can't imagine it being easily kept clean though, as I am not sure if you can actually get the buttons off so you can get rid of anything trapped in there, or if it's just another useless gimmick.
Will you get a review sample @Hilbert Hagedoorn ?

I had horrid experience with them back in the day. Keyboard, two mice, two headsets, only mouse mat works.
Everything had buzzing, double click issues, sticky keys e.t.c.
Never again. As an example using steelseries 6gv2 keyboard for 6th year now, and works like a charm as my daily driver.
Perhaps Razer quality has increased, but even so it is unattractive to me with all the flashy lights and "in your face" style.
