1000-key Emoji Keyboard Is As Crazy As It Sounds

Posted by timothy on from the quite-a-pitchman dept.

hypnosec writes: A YouTuber named Tom Scott has built a 1,000-key keyboard with each key representing an emoji! Scott made the emoji keyboard using 14 keyboards and over 1,000 individually placed stickers. While he himself admits that it is one of the craziest things he has built, the work he has put in does warrant appreciation. On the keyboard are individually placed emojis for food items, animals, plants, transport, national flags, and time among others.

    Why? What's there to appreciate? A tremendous waste of time and effort? :)

    I was thinking he may have actually hacked together a bunch of 104 keys to create a giant 1000 key keyboard. This is boring. It's 14 keyboards plugged into a USB hub, some "fancy software", and key mapping.
