Codex Micro

Is this the reason OpenAI decided to steal Apple hardware secrets? Regardless, device looks nice

My first reaction is WTF. My second reaction isn't here yet.

I checked the date but no.

Looks like a novelty item made with the purpose of testing their hardware production capabilities before producing a real product. Also, translated pages transform newlines into \n.

A quarter RGB keyboard for the price of half a MacBook Neo? Yeah this will sell like hot cakes...

Where's the Stream Deck emulation layer?

on one hand...this looks cool/teenage engineering-esque. on the other...engineers have been infantilized forever now but this is a new level. it feels like my career has been dwindled down to ... what? a few colors and like 5 buttons? reminds me of something out of idiocracy a bit. just need a button that orders a nice juicy hamburger for me during my lunch break. but jokes aside, I suppose you can look at this being sort of like a numpad in addition to your main keyboard so I see the point of this gimmicky thing

Where have I seen this before https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1ue5inx/i_built...

It's not clear why this physical object is a better solution to the problem than, say, a window on your screen. Feels like more of a hobby project than something that provides $230 of value.

We march ever closer to the cntl c v keyboard!

Looks cool. I’m looking for a macro pad with a little LCD that’s Mac and Linux compatible. This looks like it has LEDs but not a screen. Any experience with https://www.eezbotfun.com/ or recommendations for something similar?

This is a rebranded/reskinned WORK LOUDER Creator Micro 2 btw ( https://worklouder.cc/creator-micro-2 ). Great device if you're into expensive tech toys (a la Teenage Engineering), but if you were waiting for a big OpenAI hardware reveal sorry to disappoint.

Looks fun, but I don't quite understand this product: - Do the buttons map to configurable skills / prompts? - Is it meant to be used remotely with some independence (like codex remote), or is it a peripheral like a trackpad?

We need to bring back the 'turbo' button.[1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button#Purpose

Presentation is not clear to me. How is it superior to using my keyboard?

> Flick the joystick to launch common Codex workflows like reviewing a PR, debugging an error, or refactoring code. Uh… what?

I thought this was an aprils fools joke. Then i realized it’s July..

So it's like a more limited Streamdeck.

wow, great partnership for Work Louder but man, I have a micropad from work louder, it's basically just a weird layout for a macropad.

I'm curious who the target audience is. As a developer I already spend all day at my keyboard, so I'm not yet convinced dedicated hardware is faster than a desktop app. I'd love to hear from people who've actually used it.
