I Tried OpenAI's New AI Keyboard — Coders Will Love It, Others Will Be Puzzled
OpenAI
OpenAI launched Micro, a hardware keypad designed for ChatGPT, developed with Work Louder. It offers customizable keys and voice dictation, but faces criticism for its $230 price and niche appeal, especially among programmers.
OpenAI has launched its first hardware product, Micro, a keypad built for ChatGPT, developed in collaboration with keyboard designer Work Louder. The device features six customizable agent keys and six command keys, along with a voice dictation button. It connects via Bluetooth or USB. The packaging resembles Apple's aesthetic. The product has received negative reviews on Reddit, with one user calling it a prank, and an Aftermath review calling it frustrating. The $230 price is considered high compared to alternatives. The keypad is aimed at heavy ChatGPT users, especially programmers using the Codex tool, but offers convenience for multitasking and dictation. However, it requires a learning curve to memorize key assignments and color codes (white for idle, blue for thinking, green for complete, red for error). The utility depends on how often one uses ChatGPT.
