Emoji keyboard
A US firm has released an emoji keyboard - but it only works with Apple products and on Windows 10 at the moment.
Oh - and you'll have to order one from America.
There are three different types depending on how many emojis you need in your life and how much money you want to spend.
The standard keyboard has 47 characters, the plus version 94 and the pro runs to 120.
The company behind the hardware, which is based in Texas, says it has all the latest emojis included in the latest iOS 9 download, like the taco and unicorn.
It's unclear how future emoji updates would be included on the keyboard or whether you'd have to buy a new one.

There's a special button on the keyboard that you hold down to use emojis.
It links up with iPhones, iPads, Macs and other devices using Bluetooth.
They cost $79.95 (£51.84), $89.95 (£58.31) and $99.95 (£64.80) but will be quite a lot more with parcel delivery to the UK included.
You'll also have to use two AAA batteries for the keyboard and install software on your device to be able to use it.

The top two models (plus and pro) also have skin modifier keys for changing skin tone - like you can on your smartphone.
You can of course already use emojis on Macs and computers using Windows.
On a Mac you press Command, Control and the Space Bar and a pop-up should appear with lots of different characters.
And on Windows, press the keyboard symbol in the bottom right of the screen and an emoji keyboard will replace the normal alphabetical one.
A British company launched an emoji pin code system to access online banking earlier this year.
Meanwhile a professor at Bangor University says emoji is now the fastest growing language in the UK and evolving faster than ancient forms of communication, such as hieroglyphics.
