Work Louder’s Codex Micro turns ChatGPT Codex into a dedicated 6-key keypad
Dimillian · x · 2026-07-28
Work Louder’s Codex Micro is a compact keypad built for ChatGPT Codex, with 6 RGB agent-status keys, customizable command keys, a dial and joystick, and 6 programmable layers with app-based auto switching.
- The frosted Agent Keys show Codex thread status in real time: white idle, blue thinking, green complete, amber needs input, red error, and off when no agent is active.
- Single-tap focuses an agent in the background; double-tap brings the Codex window forward.
- Command keys, the dial, and joystick can be remapped through the Input software, and the keypad can also trigger pre-defined skills and shortcuts for other apps.
- The poster says setup was quick, but assumed it would include a built-in mic for dictation, which it does not.
