OpenAI has said that this device has been launched in limited partnership with Work Louder. Work Louder has also launched a similar product, the Creator Micro 2, designed in collaboration with Figma. According to the company, with Codex Micro, users can easily monitor and manage AI agents.
This device provides 6 agent – keys, which flash and indicate the status of running threads. It also has a joystick, which initiates request review and refactoring workflows. It also has a dial, which adjusts the range. Work Louder’s standard Creator Micro 2 costs $144. Compared to this, the device launched by OpenAI is a bit expensive. The standard device also has many features designed for codec users. It also has separate buttons for 6 different agents.
Flashing lights on device buttons indicate status. A white light indicates idle mode, a blue light initiates processing, a green light indicates task completion, and a red light highlights a problem. After a single key press the agent is assigned and after a double press the agent window comes up. This button can also be customized by users. Additionally, each button has a push-to-talk feature, allowing users to issue commands by speaking in Codex.

Every button found in the Codex Micro is programmable and users can swipe or change the button according to their needs. Work Louder claims that their box comes with 32 extra buttons. Along with this, users also get an option to choose a silent or clicky switch. Codex can be connected with a micro USB-C cable or Bluetooth.
