Amid hardware legal battle, OpenAI releases a $230 keyboard for Codex

OpenAI has launched the $230 Codex Micro keyboard, co-designed with Work Louder, for managing AI coding agents. This limited-run device features light-up "Agent Keys," customizable "Command Keys," a joystick, and a dial for adjusting agent reasoning levels. OpenAI describes it as a "command center for agentic work," controllable via the ChatGPT desktop app. This hardware debut coincides with a legal battle, as Apple is suing OpenAI for alleged trade theft related to a separate, unreleased smart speaker device.
