This is a rebranded/reskinned WORK LOUDER Creator Micro 2 btw (https://worklouder.cc/creator-micro-2). Great device if you're into expensive tech toys (a la Teenage Engineering), but if you were waiting for a big OpenAI hardware reveal sorry to disappoint.

IMHO this is a much better solution.

I actually have this as a problem with Codex / Claude where I don't know if I have to make a decision .

		I own an elgato Stream Deck (somewhere in a drawer), I love the concept of keys being a display but the keys are VERY mushy. Still a better deal and a way more versatile device than that Codex Micro pad. Now that I think about it, I think I'd enjoy using streamdeck more if it was just a USB touchscreen thing maybe with some vibration for tactile feel with the same UI.

		Yuk. Windows only and closed source. Pass.

At least it's much more expensive

Or you could get a bluetooth number pad for $20.

		I'm using such pad as a second gamepad when I need one :) It is actually not too bad, if combined with a multikey mouse

		Or a microcontroller and some buttons for 10

They could've at least made something custom, and claim it was designed with help from GPT 5.6

The price for that HW basically implies it either has sizeable margins or is made with artisan methods.

ooh Micro 2 is a lot cheaper, but doesn't seem to have individually addressable RGB keys unless I'm mistaken?

Update: did some research, found this thing for $39 https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-ek21

It's got 20 keys, hot-swappable, and individually addressable RGB.

And for an FOSS printable one, https://github.com/Dwin17/bento

Apple must be happy that they let Jony Ive go. What a letdown.

(assuming this meh partnership rebranding had his participation)

		Work Louder is a different company, the LoveFrom hardware is still unknown at this point.

		Pretty sure this isn’t the secret Jonny Ive project.
