This is a rebranded/reskinned WORK LOUDER Creator Micro 2 btw ( https://worklouder.cc/creator-micro-2 ). Great device if you're into expensive tech toys (a la Teenage Engineering), but if you were waiting for a big OpenAI hardware reveal sorry to disappoint.

Apple must be happy that they let Jony Ive go. What a letdown. (assuming this meh partnership rebranding had his participation)

Work Louder is a different company, the LoveFrom hardware is still unknown at this point.

This is pretty hilarious. Guess people forgot how to use PCs and can only prompt now.

what happened to the Jonny Ive and them purchasing his agency?

6.5 billions paid, nothing so far, this was such a sus transaction, sounded like the way to get money out of OpenAI.

I am surprised they released this. Who is the audience for this? You can DIY this yourself surely.

8th openai product named codex btw

Given that their initial product was called ChatGPT I’m not sure that anyone should expect them to be able to name anything remotely sensibly.

Not that long (10 hours) ago this was considered a joke: https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1uwzr82/got_my_...

If anyone is looking at this thinking it looks pretty and wants to check out Work Louder's keyboards, let me save you the time. Their keyboards must be made by designers who do not type much because they are both not pleasant to type on and not very high-quality.

The Nomad [E] might be one of the worst keyboards I've ever purchased, and I owned one of the original butterfly switch MacBooks.

I want very hard to agree with you but then I remember elgato has built a very successful business from a 8/12/16/... Macro keyboard for streamers so what do I know.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

ooh Micro 2 is a lot cheaper, but doesn't seem to have individually addressable RGB keys unless I'm mistaken?

Update: did some research, found this thing for $39 https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-ek21 It's got 20 keys, hot-swappable, and individually addressable RGB. And for an FOSS printable one, https://github.com/Dwin17/bento

I made one too, though no LEDs:
