A quarter RGB keyboard for the price of half a MacBook Neo? Yeah this will sell like hot cakes...

It isn't meant to sell like hot cakes. Work Louder is the keyboard equivalent of Teenage Engineering. They make expensive toys for silicon valley engineers.

So work louder is the new work smarter?

And very fitting in this case, too, with everybody having to use voice input. :)

It’s $230 vs. $699? That’s almost exactly a third, not half.

At release, the Neo was $499 for education.
steve1977 2 hours ago||
That's the number I had in mind, but correct, apparently this is only for education and it's also 100 USD more now.

I want very hard to agree with you but then I remember elgato has built a very successful business from a 8/12/16/... Macro keyboard for streamers so what do I know.

I'd debate that the custom LCD buttons made the difference... I've got a few macro keypads for some specific use cases, I ended up with a elgato for a -very- niche radio related use case and love it

I am surprised they released this. Who is the audience for this? You can DIY this yourself surely.
nolok 4 hours ago|
The people who cannot DIY? There are a surprisingly large number of people who "code" in codex while being completely unable to write a single line of code themselves. Not that I approve, I think this will end in disaster (security or otherwise) and llm shines as a force multiplier not as a replacement, but I've long learned what's correct is not always what's selling.

By that same logic I think OpenAI should get into the burger business for those who cannot cook.

That would unironically be a way to start to make money

Haven’t you heard? Anyone can DIy anything now they just have to ask ChatGPT for help.

I KVM between a bunch of boxes and I have a Doio KB16 for Claude and I love it. I get the reasoning for the product. Price is..... interesting.

How long before someone shows a hobby project with a robotic arm and computer vision controlling one of these?

I am only half-joking.

on one hand...this looks cool/teenage engineering-esque. on the other...engineers have been infantilized forever now but this is a new level. it feels like my career has been dwindled down to ... what? a few colors and like 5 buttons? reminds me of something out of idiocracy a bit. just need a button that orders a nice juicy hamburger for me during my lunch break.

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

With that lens your career before this device was a few colors and 104 keys?

8th openai product named codex btw

Given that their initial product was called ChatGPT I’m not sure that anyone should expect them to be able to name anything remotely sensibly.

Fun fact, the name Codex predates ChatGPT
