5 days ago
- OpenAI launched its first hardware product, the $230 Codex Micro macropad, developed with Work Louder.
- The device is a limited edition, programmable mechanical macropad that features six 'agent keys' with colored lights to indicate agent status (idle, thinking, finished, error).
- It includes a dial, joystick, six regular keys for accepting/rejecting changes, and a push-to-talk button, all customizable via Work Louder's Input tool.
- The Codex Micro supports USB-C and Bluetooth, comes with low-profile switches (silent or clicky), and includes 32 additional keycaps.
- While designed for OpenAI's Codex agentic coding tool, it can be used with other applications through additional layers in the Input app.
OpenAI's first branded hardware is a light-up keyboard?
5 days ago
- OpenAI launches its first branded hardware device, the $230 Codex Micro, a specialized mini-keyboard.
- It features RGB-lit frosted keys that provide color-coded live feedback on up to six Codex threads (idle: white, thinking: blue, complete: green, needing feedback: amber, error: red).
- A tap on a lit key brings the relevant Codex window on-screen, simplifying thread monitoring for desktop users.
- The device includes six default buttons for common Codex tasks (e.g., accepting changes, push-to-talk), but functions are remappable via software and customizable with included keycaps.
- Beyond Codex-specific use, it supports five additional programmable function layers for general computing shortcuts.
- It's a limited-run collaboration with Work Louder and targets users who monitor AI agents, though mobile apps may offer more detailed remote monitoring.

- The app, LG Monitor App Installer, has access to all system resources and internet, and displays McAfee ads as adware.
- Users report issues dating back to at least 2024, with potential risks of data exfiltration and unwanted software popups.
- Windows Update can install such software by default, but it can be disabled via Group Policy Editor.
- LG's TVs have similar AI services with privacy concerns in terms of service, hinting at possible future monitor issues.
