OpenAI Launches AI Keypad for Coders
OpenAI has ventured into hardware with the launch of Micro, a keypad designed to enhance the ChatGPT experience. Developed with Work Louder, this device targets tech enthusiasts and coders, offering customizable keys for specific tasks within ChatGPT and Codex. While the keypad includes features like voice dictation and customizable commands, its $230 price tag and niche appeal have drawn mixed reviews. For those deeply integrated with ChatGPT, Micro could streamline workflows, but its utility may not justify the learning curve for casual users.
