the ’emoji keyboard’ cover and custom software by disk cactus, brings the joy and expressive power of emoji symbols to the mac computer. by downloading the company’s installer, an apple with the USA keyboard layout enables access to over 150 signs. to activate this feature and to not interrupt typing too much, the user just has to turn on the cap lock in order to unlock their full emotions. the shift, control and option buttons also allows people to use alternative characters. aiming for a minimum production run of 1000 ’emoji keyboard’ covers, the art and technology studio is seeking funding through their kickstarter campaign.
