en.Wedoany.com Reported - OpenAI released a video on June 29 local time via its official developer account "OpenAI Developers," teasing a new product for the AI programming assistant tool "Codex." The video features a date marked "July 15," hinting at a launch event on that day.

The teaser video showcases a square device with multiple buttons and knob-like components on its body. The central section features grid-arranged translucent keys emitting colorful lights in blue, green, and orange. The edges of the device display the text "Work Louder | OpenAI 2026" and "You can just build things."

The video does not reveal the product name, price, or detailed specifications. According to a report by U.S. media outlet 9to5Mac, the device's appearance and the "Work Louder" branding indicate it is a Codex-specific input device developed in collaboration between OpenAI and Canadian keyboard manufacturer Work Louder.

Work Louder is a manufacturer specializing in macro keyboards and keyboards. The 9to5Mac report notes that the teased device appears to be a Codex-specific version of its macro keyboard "Creator Micro 2." In addition to multiple mechanical switches, the product also features a joystick and touch sensors.

A macro keyboard is an input device that allows users to assign common operations or key combinations to individual keys, primarily targeting creators and developers. If the device supports Codex shortcut operations, users can invoke repetitive editing tasks via physical keys.

On June 24, OpenAI posted a recruitment notice for the developer event "OpenAI DevDay 2026" on the same account. The event is scheduled to take place on September 29 in San Francisco, with the introduction including items such as "trying out new features," but no direct connection to this teaser has been explicitly stated yet.
