OpenAI Unveils Codex Micro 2 Weeks Before July 15 Launch as First Hardware Product

Summary
July 15 is the planned launch date for Codex Micro, a Codex-branded micro pad OpenAI showed at the AI Engineer World Fair in San Francisco.
Built with Work Louder, the device is pitched as a keyboard to “supercharge” Codex use rather than part of OpenAI’s separate Jony Ive-led hardware effort.
13 mechanical switches, a joystick and a touch sensor appear to mirror Work Louder’s Creator Micro 2, though OpenAI has not detailed what Codex-specific shortcuts or features will differ.
Pricing and market availability remain undisclosed; Work Louder’s Creator Micro 2 sells for $199 in the U.S., offering the closest benchmark so far.
The launch gives OpenAI its first branded hardware product, but not the rumored phone or wearable that has fueled wider speculation about its device strategy.
