OpenAI reveals Codex Micro: its first branded RGB mini keyboard

OpenAI is launching its first branded hardware product, the Codex Micro, a $230 RGB-lit mini keyboard that lets users monitor up to six Codex threads with color-coded keys. The device, a limited-run collaboration with Work Louder, features six frosted top-row keys that indicate thread status (idle to thinking to complete, with amber for human input and red for errors) and can open the related Codex window with a tap. While primarily desktop-focused, it signals OpenAI’s broader hardware ambitions and is described as shipping shortly after purchase.
