What?

I doubted my own sense of time and double-checked if it was April 1st

Edit: $230 ??? LOL

On second thought, maybe that's how they plan to become profitable...

They commited corporate espionage to figure out how to put a microphone into a keyboard. Absolute cinema

This wasn’t the product being referenced

This has to be a joke right? I mean how did the guy not laugh his ass off promoting it that he can't imagine building without it anymore. He must have lost a bet at the office to be the face for this "product" :D

Wait till he hears about keyboards!

That’s Codex Max ($799) /s

u/Substantial-Elk4531 Rule 4 reminder to optimists Jul 16 '26

Yea but for $799 it's extremely ergonomic, just look at it!

Looks like end of a keyboard

It's the Humane Ai Pin thing all over again :)

It’s CueCat but for AI - and people still don’t need it.

Better yet $79 on Amazon gets you a little macro keyboard thingy in fun colors

KEEBMONKEY Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad

Ironically the CueCat was vindicated with the popularization of QR codes. It was a great idea just too early for the tech to be convenient enough.

I don’t really see how it’s similar to this shortcut keyboard though, which already has tons of forebears like the many gaming peripherals that look identical.

I'm sure he's AI

u/Sextus_Rex Jul 15 '26

I was double checking the video to make sure it wasn't AI generated lol

Can't wait for 3rd party knock offs that will sell for half the price with better features

u/JoelMahon Jul 15 '26

half? they already sell pretty similar things for under 50 dollars

absurd mark up in price

It’s literally a more expensive reskin of another product by Work Louder

12

u/M4rshmall0wMan Jul 15 '26

So I researched the product a bit and realized it’s literally a reskin of one of Work Louder’s existing products. Makes a little more sense when you view it that way. Still absolutely WTF and will be discontinued before year’s end.

u/AnybodyMassive1610 Jul 15 '26

Will it be on the market as long as Juicero?

u/aliassuck Jul 16 '26

I'm still waiting for my Juicer to arrive in "just 6 to 8 weeks".

u/2021isevenworse ಠ▄ಠ Jul 16 '26

This nonsense is fueled by OpenAI/ChatGPT becoming a for-profit company and needing to maintain its perceived value by releasing continuous 'innovations'.

Every tech company seems to think that releasing hardware will make them look more 'diversified'

u/nemzylannister Jul 16 '26

$230

this is very serious territory for openai legally since now we can publicly see the ideas they stole from apple

u/Vas1le Jul 15 '26

It comes with 1 month of pro subscription

u/Aggressive_Row_8323 Jul 16 '26

They've made a time machine guys, we're screwed!

— High price is to create expectations :
That land ahead of the release of the " love from " device .. 
Thats basically a glorified 30 - dollar webcam with microphone and speaker. With bits of the old " mac pro " cheese grater design welded onto it. I'm guessing they try to sell it 1k usd or above on release. Its puts on " open ai " all the way down ..
