The device includes hardware controls for switching between AI tools, launching shortcuts, selecting execution modes, and recording voice input. There is also an open-source firmware project available for the M5Stack Core2 that reproduces many of the Codex Micro’s features. The rotary encoder can be used to switch between AI applications such as ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, and terminal sessions, or to cycle through different AI models.
