openai released its first hardware product, micro, a $230 keypad developed with work louder designed for chatgpt users. the device offers six programmable agent keys and voice commands to automate coding workflows, though users report a steep learning curve. initial reactions from the coding community are largely negative, with users questioning the value over standard peripherals. this release precedes broader hardware plans from openai, despite ongoing legal disputes with apple.
