OpenAI’s $230 Codex keypad adds a dial for reasoning effort

OpenAI’s $230 Codex keypad appears to add a physical dial for controlling reasoning effort.
The joke in the post is that founders have spent years trying to add the same kind of control to sprint planning: a simple knob for how much effort to spend on a task. The image suggests this is being explored as a concrete UI for agentic coding workflows, not just as a model setting hidden in menus.
