KeyKobo EMOJI

Hey guys, this is Kei.

Today I would like bring this keycap set to everybody, KeyKobo Emoji.
It was done designed in 2023 but for some reasons,
it's delayed until now.

INSPIRATIONS:

Inspired by the emojis we all use in everyday chats ✨—they’re fun, expressive, and instantly relatable.
I loved that vibe so much that I decided to bring it straight into the keycaps.
The overall color scheme sticks to sleek black and gray, with pops of neon yellow to keep things fresh and eye-catching. For the iconic keys, we picked a lineup of lively expressions and playful symbols, creating a bold and energetic visual contrast.
This set is all about fun and personality. Hope it brings a smile to your desk—and that you enjoy it as much as we do

Why safety yellow instead of the common gold colored emoji theme?

I also feel like the desk mat artwork doesn't quite match the concept of the keycaps. It even gives off a somewhat unsettling feeling.

i don't see the translucent yellow keys in any of the kitting, but i think they would add a lot to this colorway.

unironically like this set and some of the design choices in the extension kit. glwic!!
