Keyboard is one thing. I actually have some slight use for individually customizable RGB on keys, RGB mouse starts to lose me, but at least it is within the range of things I interact with on my computer, But anything past that point, and I'm actively avoiding it as a scam
(Looking at you RGB RAM)
RGB ram and other PC internals are definitely a scam, but you can put them to use if you already have them.
I use OpenRGB (an rgb program) to set my built in motherboard rgb light to be a color gradient based on my GPU temperature (ie: minimum temp is cyan, and fades green/yellow/red for higher temps). Not distracting cause it doesn't ever have major temperature changes in a short time, and it's pretty convenient as a general monitor when I'm playing games.
Definitely not a selling point for rgb internals, but a neat usage if you already have it.
I love rgb on my keyboard though. Color coded keys are a godsend for me to break up letters/numbers/punctuation.
It's not a scam, its an accessory. It's not going to make your ram faster or make you better at gaming but no one is claiming it will. Sure, its definitely overpriced for what you get but you're delusional if you don't think every company is doing that, rgb or not.
At the end of the day, some people just like to play with colourful lights and its not like you're being forced to pay for rgb you don't want, you can just build without it and save some money.
I don't really get the big deal about it. Personally I prefer a clean dark build without the flashy lights but again, that's personal preference. I wouldn't want to force anyone to give up something they like.
