OpenAI is releasing some sort of device related to its AI-powered coding tool, Codex, on July 15th. In a video posted to X on Monday, OpenAI shows a square-shaped device with several buttons, alongside the caption, “Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade.”

This isn’t the mysterious AI-powered device OpenAI is working on with former Apple designer Jony Ive, however. As shown in the teaser, OpenAI is launching the device in partnership with Work Louder, a company that sells an array of mechanical keyboards and macro pads with mappable keys, dials, and switches.
The silhouette of the device shown by OpenAI looks a bit like Work Louder’s Creator Micro 2, a macro pad that comes with 13 mechanical switches, a joystick, and a touch sensor. Users can assign shortcuts and custom actions to the toggles on that device when using different apps, like Photoshop. Figma similarly partnered with Work Louder to launch a macro pad with preconfigured shortcuts.
Neither OpenAI nor Work Louder shares any more details about their upcoming collaboration, but with a launch just two weeks away, we won’t have to wait much longer to find out more.
