After a few minutes on the site, I have no clue what this is for. A keyboard that interacts with Codex? That’s just a software feature, why am I paying $230 for hotkeys?

For the first hour of learning about this, I thought it was an elaborate joke.

If you’re puzzled as to why this exists, imagine that, out of the goodness of your heart, you donate $230 to OpenAI to support their mission of rear ending the singularity, and receive Codex Micro memorabilia as a token of appreciation.

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 was interested in their knob1, and, if you go to their website today it still says pre-order with shipping in August 2025 (stuck in the past), at this point I accepted it's vaporware [1] [1] https://worklouder.cc/knob1

I'm guessing they didn't run "knob" past anyone from the UK.

Edit: as much as it pains me, this is hacker news, so, knob means cock in the UK.

$230 for a macropad with an exposed PCB and no washers under the Allen screws. I'm not sure what the joystick is for, and neither are they apparently: the only example they give is something that could just be a keybind.

RE: the joystick. They should have gone with the Playdate's crank instead, CrankGPT style.

Anyway, I think it's all a fun marketing thing. A desk toy for folks with disposable income. I imagine they'll sell out, given the limited release and then they'll be on eBay.

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.

IMHO this is a much better solution. https://marketplace.elgato.com/product/claude-code-usage-ea7... I actually have this as a problem with Codex / Claude where I don't know if I have to make a decision .

Yuk. Windows only and closed source. Pass.

Codex micro - is it a tiny coding agent? Or a small coding model? No it is hardware, that has nothing to do with coding. I think they should have called it "codex luna" - because it's small!

Thanks, thought I was the only one expecting a tiny, coding focused model from the title. Codex really is the least consistent brand in tech.
