I recreated OpenAI's Codex Micro for a lot less - and mine is more customizable

SpeculationProductJul 20, 2026

OpenAI's $230 Codex Micro sold out almost immediately after launch. A ZDNET writer recreated the device's core controls using a Stream Deck+ at lower cost.

The writer argues the Stream Deck solution is more customizable since its buttons adapt to any application, unlike the Codex Micro's fixed keycaps.
