OpenAI launches a physical keypad for controlling agents

The new collaboration with keyboard maker Work Louder is available to order today. The first piece of OpenAI hardware is here, and no, it has nothing to do with Jony Ive . It's called the Codex Micro, and it's a keypad created in collaboration with keyboard maker Work Louder, specifically for controlling OpenAI's agentic coding feature Codex . The two companies started teasing the accessory in June, and the Codex Micro is available to order now for $230, ahead of the Jony Ive-designed smart speaker OpenAI is rumored to be introducing later this year. If you've seen Work Louder's Creator Micro 2, or the Framer Micro the company created in collaboration with the website builder Framer, you have a good sense of the fit and finish of the Codex Micro.
