I've just purchased the new Mac keyboard with the silver and black. All is well other than it seems I have to tap several times in order for the emoji or world button (the one that doubles as the function key) in order to open up the emojis menu.
I've tried going into the keyboard settings, but nothing changes it.
Anyone have an idea?

That would be nice, but Apple puts out a new MacOS every year and new stuff often has bugs. You can let Apple know what you are not happy with via
In these forums you're talking to other users who try to help you find ways to do what you need while you wait for Apple to fix things.

Go to the keyboard settings and make the Fn/Globe key do nothing or switch languages. Then the shortcut for emoji becomes Fn E I think. See if that is more reliable.
This is the MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) with the M1 Pro chip.
This is running macOS Monterey Version 12.3
The external keyboard I am using is the one just announced at the newest Apple event in March of 2022 – "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad for Mac models with Apple silicon - US English - Black Keys" (Apple's official description).

But shouldn't it be able to function just like it should? I mean I did JUST buy this. Shouldn't I not have to worry about a work around? This and my new MacBook were released and purchased within the last 6 months.

I have figured out the problem. After I turned off the "Key Repeat" feature on Keyboard Settings, it solved everything. Now with one tap of the button, it works🤘🏻
Very interesting, thanks!
