OpenAI Debuts First Hardware, a Keyboard Built for Smart Coding Agents
The limited-run device adds six status keys, a joystick and a dial for controlling AI coding workflows.
- On Tuesday, OpenAI and Canada-based Work Louder released the $230 Codex Micro, a specialized keyboard accessory designed to help users manage their Codex coding agents.
- Designed for agentic workflows, the Micro includes 12 programmable keys, a joystick, and a knob to serve as a "command center for agentic work."
- Using the dial, users control "reasoning effort" and customize keys that provide a "live view of your Codex threads" through color-coded status indicators.
- Separate from the fabled Jony Ive collaboration still in development, this limited-run accessory serves as a niche tool for power users rather than mass-market hardware.
- Apple recently sued OpenAI, alleging the company misappropriated hardware secrets during the development of its broader device portfolio, intensifying scrutiny of the launch.
