About
OpenAI's Codex hardware is a square, button-based device built in partnership with Work Louder, a company that makes mechanical keyboards and macro pads with mappable keys, dials and switches. OpenAI announced it in a teaser video on X with the caption "Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade," and said it would launch on July 15th.
The Verge reports that the silhouette resembles Work Louder's Creator Micro 2, which has 13 mechanical switches, a joystick and a touch sensor. This suggests a macro pad for assigning shortcuts and actions in Codex, OpenAI's AI coding tool. That is an inference from the teaser. It is not the separate AI device OpenAI is developing with Jony Ive.
Neither OpenAI nor Work Louder had published specifications, pricing or regional availability in the provided material, so details beyond the teaser are unconfirmed.
