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.

Overfunded startups will slap their stickers on them and give them away in exchange for a sales call.

For sure the next hackathon prize

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?

But they have special colors - only $45 each!

I'm curious who the target audience is. As a developer I already spend all day at my keyboard, so I'm not yet convinced dedicated hardware is faster than a desktop app. I'd love to hear from people who've actually used it.

It’s for twitter AI influencers and general marketing

This is not really intended as a product you will use today. This is an intentionally provocative statement on the future of work, where your keyboard is not supplemented by, but rather replaced by a dozen or so buttons for prompting (via voice), reviewing, approving or rejecting. Codex Micro is a workstation controller for the knowledge worker in sama's 2030 fever dream. I'm not even entirely sure I disagree.

I'm currently supporting (a couple hours a week) an exec who has mostly automated his workflow via vibe coding (the rest largely failed - not everyone can make the leap, and those that do are largely marginal) his workflow is largely a VS code window with the git commit/sync button on the left, and 2-20 codex/claude tabs in the main window on the right. I think he could actually make use of this sort of thing. Extremely small sample group but I'd estimate 1/300 people in a tech centric location like downtown SF. Globally it would be a tiny tiny fraction of that number lol. The venn diagram overlap of people who this would be useful for, vs people who have already vibe-coded their own macro keyboard with a streamdeck (myself included) is probably a pretty strong overlap. It's an amusing marketing gimmick, and historical artifact, if nothing else.

How is this more expensive than a Stream Deck? Shouldn't OpenAI be able to undercut existing software / hardware stacks due to how automated their engineering team is?

https://openai.com/supply/co-lab/work-louder/ - $230

https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck - $130, with LCD sceens, works with any apps

The people who cannot DIY? There are a surprisingly large number of people who "code" in codex while being completely unable to write a single line of code themselves. Not that I approve, I think this will end in disaster (security or otherwise) and llm shines as a force multiplier not as a replacement, but I've long learned what's correct is not always what's selling.

By that same logic I think OpenAI should get into the burger business for those who cannot cook.

That would unironically be a way to start to make money

I doubt the cost has any impact in the price. This is like a cool band t-shirt, but for nerds.

This is really pretty, but I'm surprised it doesn't have a microphone. I know it's just rebranding the existing work louder creator keyboard, but a mic would really, really help with this product. Especially one that is really effective at Wispr Flow-type speaking.
