Now, I loooove the RGB on this keyboard, but is the price tag in other way justifiable? They boast about the opto-mechanical switches, but is there any real performance increase noticeable compared to a usual mechanical keyboard. 

Now I definitely have more razer products than is healthy (4 controllers and a keyboard,) so let me be the first to tell you that while the feel of using a razer product is really good, they are definitely waaay overpriced. Think of it as the Apple tax of PC gaming.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Ohhhhh ok, a simile I can understand. Considering (apart from pc) I've fallen into the apple ecosystem, I can deal with adding razer to that over spending :)
