OpenAI’s new hardware is a $230, 13-switch keyboard for Codex

OpenAI is selling its first hardware — without any help from Jony Ive . It describes the Codex Micro as a “ command center for agentic work ” but it’s really a 13-switch wireless keyboard customized to help developers keep tabs on what their Codex agents are doing. The keyboard has 13 mechanical switches (one keycap covers two of them by default), a rotary encoder, joystick, and RGB backlighting around the whole keypad and individual keys.
