Creator Micro 2 settings shortcut disappeared from the Codex sidebar

[lindsayb82]

Environment

• Codex desktop app on macOS, version 26.924.22138 (build 11645)
• Work Louder Creator Micro 2

Bug

The little Micro shortcut at the bottom of my Codex sidebar has disappeared. I used to click it to get straight to the device settings. The Creator Micro 2 buttons still work, so the device itself is connected.

OpenAI’s Codex Micro instructions still say, “You can also select the Micro icon beside your account name at the bottom of ChatGPT.” I don’t see that icon or the old shortcut bar in the Codex sidebar anymore.

Reproduction

1. Connect a Creator Micro 2 and open the Codex view in the macOS desktop app.
2. Look at the bottom of the left sidebar, beside the account name.
3. The Micro settings shortcut is missing, even though the device buttons still work.

If the shortcut moved, where is it? If it was removed, please bring it back. It was a genuinely useful way to reach the device settings.

I asked ChatGPT to search for the closest related issue, and it identified:

Codex Micro exposes broken “Switch to mode 1/2” actions and cannot switch between ChatGPT and Codex

If that issue describes the same problem you are experiencing, consider adding a reaction to the GitHub issue itself, rather than only reacting to this forum topic. GitHub reactions can help the maintainers gauge how many users are affected.

If it does not match your problem closely enough, search the existing Codex issues for a better match. If you cannot find one, consider opening a new issue and include as much relevant information as possible, such as your Codex version, operating system, environment, reproduction steps, expected behavior, actual behavior, and any relevant logs or error messages.
