OpenAI teases Codex-branded hardware collaboration coming, here's what to expect

OpenAI says the device will upgrade Codex shortcuts with a small desktop control pad made with mechanical keyboard maker Work Louder.

  • On Monday, the OpenAI Developers account teased a new Codex-branded input device developed with Canadian-Italian company Work Louder, launching July 15.
  • This project is distinct from the mysterious AI-powered device OpenAI is creating with former Apple designer Jony Ive, acquired through a $6.4 billion deal in May.
  • The teaser reveals a device resembling the Work Louder Creator Micro 2 macro pad, equipped with 13 mechanical switches and displaying 'OpenAI 2026' branding.
  • OpenAI staffer Dominik Kundel told AI Engineer World's Fair attendees they could "catch a peek" of the device, prompting attendees to share photos online.
  • While OpenAI remains primarily a software company, the firm continues expanding hardware experiments following hints from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about future ambitions.
