OpenAI has posted a video on X showing a device related to its AI agent 'Codex.' The post includes the date 'July 15th' and the text 'Your favorite Codex shortcuts will be upgraded,' suggesting that some additional information will be announced on July 15, 2026.

It has the words 'OpenAI 2026' printed on it, and a square button that glows green.



Another button is glowing orange.



To the left of the blue-glowing button, there's also a wheel-like component.



The overall picture of the device.



The video posted on X was a short 10-second clip that ended with the words 'OpenAI' and ' Work Louder ' displayed.



In their post, OpenAI stated, 'Your favorite Codex shortcuts are getting an upgrade' and 'July 15th,' suggesting that the multi-button square device will be released, or more information will be made available, on July 15, 2026.

Based on the display at the end of the video, it is believed that the Codex device is being developed in collaboration with Canadian keyboard manufacturer Work Louder. The device shown in the video closely resembles Work Louder's left-hand device, the '

Creator Micro 2 '.



It has been reported that Jonathan Ive, who designed major products such as the iPhone as an Apple designer, is working with OpenAI to develop an AI device, but The Verge points out that this device does not seem to be related to this announcement.

The Creator Micro 2 allows you to register specific apps to each physical key and launch them instantly with a press of a button, or assign specific actions to complete tasks with a single button press. Therefore, it is predicted that the Codex device will also allow you to assign Codex shortcuts, making it easier to execute frequently used commands by pressing physical keys.

As of the time of writing, OpenAI and Work Louder have not revealed the official name or details of the Codex device. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the 'July 15th' mentioned in the X post refers to the device's release date or the date for announcing further details, so we will likely have to wait until July 15, 2026 for more information.
