Codex Micro is a compact keyboard built with Work Louder to control your Codex agents. It features physical keys for common skills, a dial to adjust reasoning levels, and live RGB status lights so you can track agent progress without switching windows.
Each Agent Key shows live status from Codex, so you can see which agents are thinking, running, waiting, or done without opening every chat.
The joystick launches skills. The dial adjusts reasoning. The other keys can handle voice dictation, task switching, permissions, and follow-up work.
Of course, you can do all of this with a mouse.
But turning up the model’s brainpower with a physical dial is much more fun :)
