Hi Work Louder team,
I've just ordered a Creator Micro 2 Pro.
Before it arrives I'd like to check what's possible on the host side, so I build the right thing rather than guess.
I'm writing a small local macOS app for my own use that supervises coding-agent sessions - conceptually the same job the Codex Micro does for Codex, but for a different tool and running entirely on my own machine.
Mapping keys to actions is straightforward with Input.
What I'd like to know is whether the feedback direction is available to me: lighting individual keys from my own app to show live status, the way the Agent Keys work on the Codex Micro.
Three specific questions:
Does the Creator Micro 2 expose a raw HID interface (QMK-style usage page 0xFF60, or any vendor-specific interface) that a third-party host application can open and write to?
Is there a supported or permitted way to set per-key RGB from a host app — an Input API, a documented report format, a local socket, anything? I understand the Codex integration is a specific partnership; I'm asking about the general capability, not access to that integration.
If nothing exists today, is it something you'd consider? A documented "set key N to colour X" channel would make the Micro the obvious controller for any agent-style tool, not only Codex — that seems like it's in your interest as much as mine.
Also useful to know, if you can say: is the Creator Micro 2 firmware QMK/VIA-based like the original Creator Micro, or a different stack? I noticed the v2 isn't in QMK mainline, so I don't want to assume.
Happy to be pointed at docs if these are already answered somewhere — I couldn't find them.
Thanks,
Paulo
