OpenAI Launches First Branded Hardware: A $230 Light-Up Keyboard for Codex Agents

OpenAI has released its first branded device, the Codex Micro, a $230 mini-keyboard created in a limited collaboration with Work Louder. It features six frosted keys that display color-coded status updates for up to six Codex threads, showing idle, thinking, complete, need input, or error states. A quick tap on any lit key brings the corresponding Codex window into focus, allowing users to monitor and interact with multiple AI agents at a glance.
