Smile Efficiently With the Emoticon Keyboard

Posted by samzenpus on from the omg-ponies dept.

If the strain of constantly typing emoticons is killing your fingers, and you've been reprimanded at work for typing :-( when you meant :-) the Emoticon Keyboard may be the answer to your prayers. The tiny keyboard connects via USB and ensures you'll never type the wrong emotion again. The only flaw I see is the lack of a giant LOL key.

    Just replace the period with a LOL key LOL

    It seems to the new way to end a pointless comment post these days LOL

    How does this prevent me from typing :-( instead of :-)? Is it impossible to hit to wrong key on this keypad?

    You know, you could have spared us the inefficiency of reading all of your ranting, and simply condensed what you had to say down to its crucial emoticon essence:

    Which is faster? Typing an emoticon by "muscle memory" on good ol' QWERTY or learning a new keypad layout with no real logic?
