Based on Work Louder's Creator Micro 2, it features six 'agent keys' with LED lighting that visually indicate the state of your Codex coding agents (idle, thinking, finished, or error). The pad includes a dial, joystick, push-to-talk button, and LED-lit acrylic edge. All keys are remappable via Work Louder's Input app, and it connects via USB-C or Bluetooth. It ships with 32 extra keycaps and supports up to five custom layers for use with other apps beyond Codex. Available in limited quantities for $230, the article notes it's a fun but non-essential accessory of unclear productivity value. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
