Open Source: Control AI Coding Agents with a Gamepad
MachineLearner00 · reddit · 2026-07-16
OpenMicro is an open-source tool designed to connect AI coding agents like Codex Micro to game controllers, maintaining compatibility with various coding harnesses.
The author provides installation instructions: run npm i -g openmicro, then start it with openmicro claude. Tested on the PS5 DualSense, the author invites the community to verify more controllers; running openmicro doctor runs necessary tests and generates controller configs for PR submission. Currently tested on Claude Code, with Codex testing underway, and contributions are welcome to support more harnesses like Pi, Kiro, and Antigravity CLI.
