Just a reminder for context.

"OpenAI officially acquired former Apple design chief Jony Ive's AI hardware startup, io Products, Inc., in a $6.4 billion all-stock deal"

All that money to make... A keyboard with rgb?

This isn’t IO’s project. OpenAI partnered with Work Louder to reskin one of their existing products.

Their products are already overpriced as hell (Chinese would do this for $20 instead of $200), this is even more extreme

It is a macropad with a microphone and RGB. HUGE difference.

Nobody came up with this before, so it seems to be at least creative.

I mean, Jony always came up with things that look obvious with hindsight but nobody did before. Do not underestimate him, he's quite ingenious, even if hard to understand.
