Work Louder,the boutique keyboard maker known for its Creator Micro line, built the thing alongside OpenAI. The little square pad packs thirteen mechanical switches, a rotary dial that adjusts how hard an agent reasons, a tiny joystick and a touch sensor, plus a strip of backlit Agent Keys that glow to show whether an agent is thinking, running, stuck waiting, or done.Buyers can pick between silent switches or the loud clicky kind, and every key on the thing can be remapped inside the ChatGPT desktop app.Handing a knob that controls how hard your AI thinks feels a little wild, if we're honest. And it hooks up over Bluetooth or USB C, working fine on both Windows and Mac. Codex itself has been growing fast, climbing from around three million weekly users in early April to four million by the end of that month, after OpenAI added computer use and image generation. Demand for the keypad has already outpaced supply. Every single unit sold out within hours of going on sale.
OpenAI calls it a command center for agentic work, not a typing keyboard. And this isn't the bigger hardware push everyone's been waiting on, the screen free smart speaker OpenAI is reportedly building with former Apple design chief Jony Ive.That speaker won't land until sometime in 2027, and its rollout has already run into legal trouble,with Apple accusing two of its former employees of carrying trade secrets to OpenAI.For now, if you want a Codex Micro, you'll have to wait, since the entire first batch sold out within a day of going up for order.
