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.

Or you could get a bluetooth number pad for $20.

Or a microcontroller and some buttons for 10

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

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.

I'd debate that the custom LCD buttons made the difference... I've got a few macro keypads for some specific use cases, I ended up with a elgato for a -very- niche radio related use case and love it

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.

People with too much money to burn and not enough brains to use it on something better

Windows and Mac only (no Linux).

While I love a good piece of hardware with real buttons, I struggle to justify the money on this. If it supported Linux and was a bit cheaper I might splerge just to have a toy, but I'm definitely not switching to windows or mac just for this.

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?

They asked ChatGPT for the ideal crossover product and now the dog is wagging.

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.

Fun fact, the name Codex predates ChatGPT

My though process:

1. These abstract product visuals are not helping me understand what this software is

2. Wait, it's all about these renders, it's some kind of a joke

3. I don't understand, this can't be real, I need to check comments

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.

What's wrong with it? I believe you but I'm just curious... since on paper it just uses Gateron low profile switches which seems reasonable.
