Programmer Builds Ridiculously Large Real-Life Emoji Keyboard

Especially now Tom Scott has created a real life emoji keyboard, meaning the emoji is no longer locked within the confines of y our phone.

Are you obsessed with using emojis in your virtual conversations?

In a YouTube video, Scott (a vlogger or video blogger) explains that he used more than 1,000 stickers and “a bit of special software” so that every button types a different character.

Each section of the keyboard follows a theme, including plants, animals and birds.

Scott sent a Tweet using the keyboard but the image showed up as a small text box.

If you haven’t heard of Tom Scott, he’s the guy who built a 1000-key emoji keyboard just for kicks, or it’s probably a social comment on the way we interact with each other online these days. From your typical, yellow-faced smilies to national flags and the coveted poop emoji, it’s all found here on this array of keyboards. Scott says that he may go back and add another keyboard next year to cover the candidates from Unicode 9 to become new emoji.
