I tried out OpenAI’s new AI keypad — which will be fun for some coders and slightly mystifying to everyone else
OpenAI introduced Micro, a customizable keypad designed to work with ChatGPT, aiming to appeal to tech enthusiasts and coders. The device features six agent keys and six command keys, offering customization within ChatGPT, and includes a voice dictation feature. Despite its innovative design, reviews have been mixed, with some calling it a "prank" and others criticizing its price and usability for hardcore coders. While the product may not be the best fit for everyday users, it could be appealing to those interested in AI integration and vintage hardware.
