Nothing to see here.
The developers who build OpenAI's UI seem really skilled.
It looks very sus like an Apple product.
2. lol, why is this $230
Uh… what?

Regardless, device looks nice
Of course not.
I'd personally like one that says "slop me up", or maybe plays an airhorn sample or whatever...
but jokes aside, I suppose you can look at this being sort of like a numpad in addition to your main keyboard so I see the point of this gimmicky thing
I am only half-joking.
Things you do if you definitely are focused on the a Trillion USD industry and SuperDuperUltraMega AGI is 100% possible and what you are fully committed to. Next they’ll spend Millions on a podcast that fails to get 50k hits on YouTube or a design firm whose biggest claim to fame is creating a Ferrari whose interior looks like a Magic Mouse. Say what you want about Anthropic, their Aquihires and interpretability investments at least make sense for an LLM lab.
However, it really puts in perspective that a large part of my job has just become clicking a few buttons.

This looks like it has LEDs but not a screen.
Any experience with https://www.eezbotfun.com/ or recommendations for something similar?
- Do the buttons map to configurable skills / prompts?
- Is it meant to be used remotely with some independence (like codex remote), or is it a peripheral like a trackpad?Why don't these companies don't just do that, offer "assistant control pages"?
6.5 billions paid, nothing so far, this was such a sus transaction, sounded like the way to get money out of OpenAI.

The Nomad [E] might be one of the worst keyboards I've ever purchased, and I owned one of the original butterfly switch MacBooks.
The company itself had crazy production delays on both the Nomad and the Knob1, and seem to depend on hypebeast marketing. For $400 you would expect a very premium product and it's easy to argue that they missed the mark pretty hard.
Oh I also placed a pre-order and they refused to cancel after many delays. Unfortunately after that point it was too late for a chargeback.
*just found a random review if you want to see other opinions. The comments discuss some of the weird company shenanigans: https://old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1ngka3...
An electronic Siren's Song if you will.
Notifications on your smartphone are way better for that. Add Gacha mechanics for 100% extra damage.
I'm not sure what the joystick is for, and neither are they apparently: the only example they give is something that could just be a keybind.
Anyway, I think it's all a fun marketing thing. A desk toy for folks with disposable income. I imagine they'll sell out, given the limited release and then they'll be on eBay.
1. These abstract product visuals are not helping me understand what this software is
2. Wait, it's all about these renders, it's some kind of a joke
3. I don't understand, this can't be real, I need to check comments
[0] i sell cheap handwired dactyl keyboards in Brazil
My first reaction isn't here yet
I think they should have called it "codex luna" - because it's small!
While I love a good piece of hardware with real buttons, I struggle to justify the money on this. If it supported Linux and was a bit cheaper I might splerge just to have a toy, but I'm definitely not switching to windows or mac just for this.

I actually have this as a problem with Codex / Claude where I don't know if I have to make a decision .
Now that I think about it, I think I'd enjoy using streamdeck more if it was just a USB touchscreen thing maybe with some vibration for tactile feel with the same UI.
The price for that HW basically implies it either has sizeable margins or is made with artisan methods.
It's got 20 keys, hot-swappable, and individually addressable RGB.

Which is no different than when the iphone first came out, the basic concept of touch screens was endlessly novel as an input and output device. That novelty did a lot more heavy lifting than what we can now see in hindsight was appropriate, because now many of us won't be able to control the temperature in our cars after the touch screen fails.
I think its the same underlying mechanism that explains why I, a person who has never recorded or mixed audio in a studio, and a person who can know for certain that purchasing a 24 channel mixing console isn't going to faclilitate my career change or even hobby development. But part of me is still viscerally certain that my life would be fuller if I purchased a 24 channel mixing console.
I don't need a legitimate reason to own a tool, or a problem I would fix with it, to fantasize about using that tool.
