OpenAI’s first branded hardware is… a light-up keyboard?
Summary
OpenAI launches Codex Micro, the company’s first branded hardware, a $230 RGB-lit mini-keyboard designed to monitor multiple Codex threads at a glance. It features six frosted top keys that display live states (idle, thinking, complete, feedback, error) for Codex tasks and is a limited-run collaboration with Work Louder. The device signals OpenAI’s broader push into hardware and tooling beyond software, with shipping planned shortly after purchase.
