# OpenAI teases a new device for vibe coders that looks like a mini keyboard > Source: > Published: 2026-06-30 14:49:34+00:00 OpenAI teased a new hardware product — but it isn't the hotly anticipated personal AI device Jony Ive has been cooking up. This one is aimed at Codex AI coders. The OpenAI Developers' [X account](https://x.com/OpenAIDevs/status/2071639953927438440?s=20) posted a product teaser on Monday. The video showed a keyboard-like device slowly flashing a rainbow of colors, followed by two logos: OpenAI and Work Louder, a Canadian-Italian hardware company that [sells keyboards](https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tech/what-is-a-mechanical-keyboard) and accessories. "Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade," the description read. The post also listed July 15. Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade. — OpenAI Developers (@OpenAIDevs) July 15th.[pic.twitter.com/xZ1ydZyt94][June 29, 2026] While the full details on the device are yet to come, there are some signs as to what to expect. Work Louder sells the similarly designed Creator Micro 2, a shortcut keyboard with a joystick. The devices also appear to have similar layouts but have replaced Work Louder's branding with the AI lab's hallmarks. On the left side, the Creator Micro 2 has "Work Louder © 2025," while the Codex teaser has "OpenAI 2026." On the right side, the teaser reads "You can just…" before trailing into darkness. It's likely a nod to "You can just build things," a phrase used in [Codex's advertising](https://www.businessinsider.com/anthropic-skewered-openai-and-won-the-ai-super-bowl-2026-2). OpenAI did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. Work Louder declined to share more details. Dominik Kundel, an OpenAI staffer working on developer experience, posted [on X](https://x.com/dkundel/status/2071640240004206855?s=20) that attendees of the AI Engineer World's Fair could "catch a peek" of the device. Attendees have posted photos of the device and its box online. "Working on hardware has such different timelines," Kundel wrote [on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dkundel_your-favorite-codex-shortcuts-are-getting-activity-7477407821962059776-Cnc1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAC_jEOMB3H1Au77JKPXf0Oq_s3-DJ7oWOQc). "Excited to see this finally come to light." — Brian Chew @AIE World Fair (@brianchew)[June 29, 2026] This isn't the hotly anticipated AI device being crafted by iPhone designer Jony Ive. OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said that the device would be revealed by the [end of the year](https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-cfo-ai-device-jony-ive-2026-6). OpenAI isn't the first AI company to make keys for vibe coders. Cursor previously gave out stand-alone ["tab" keys](https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-status-symbols-openai-anthropic-cursor-2025-10) as merch.
