Frankly, I don’t mind the idea (any physical keyboard giving you easier access to portions of Unicode’s vast repertoire of characters is a good thing in my book), but just one option/alt key is a no-go for me. I already make huge use of it both for keyboard shortcuts and my custom keyboard layouts, so there’s no way I can give up having one of each side of the keyboard. I would’ve probably liked this keyboard better if the emoji key was an additional key rather than it replacing one.
