I tried out OpenAI’s new AI keypad — which will be fun for some coders and slightly mystifying to everyone else
OpenAI’s Micro is a $230 ChatGPT macropad that makes more sense for power users than ordinary laptop work.
TechCrunch found the device sturdy, Apple-coded in its packaging, and built around customizable agent and command keys for ChatGPT and Codex. Its most useful trick is a dictation button that sends spoken prompts into the app. The setup can become efficient once programmed, but users have to learn the key mappings and status colors. The piece says the value depends heavily on how much someone already uses ChatGPT. TechCrunch AI's note
