KBDFans Holy60 vs TOFU60 V2Lightweight RGB vs Premium Build

The Holy60 is likely better for a first build. Its listing shows it comes as a complete kit with PCB, plate, foam, and stabilizers included. The Tofu60 V2's base kit requires you to purchase the hot-swap PCB separately, adding complexity to the buying process.

No, the Tofu60 V2 does not have per-key RGB lighting. The product specifications and vendor description for the PCB explicitly state it is 'without per-key RGB'. The Holy60, in contrast, supports both per-key RGB and underglow.

According to the vendor page, the Tofu60 V2 supports three mounting styles. These are top mount, a silicone bowl gasket mount, and a silicone socks gasket mount. The kit includes the silicone bowl and socks to enable these different setups.

Yes, the Holy60 is hot-swappable. The metadata lists it as a hot-swap feature, and the vendor description confirms the kit includes a 'Hotswap PCB'. This allows you to change switches without soldering.

The weight difference is substantial. The Holy60 case weighs approximately 220 grams (0.22 kg). The Tofu60 V2 kit weighs about 1.4 kilograms (1400 grams) before assembly, due to its aluminum case and included brass weight.

The Tofu60 V2 has significantly more layout compatibility. Its metadata lists support for ANSI, ISO, JIS, ISO-UK, and Workman standards. The vendor page also shows the case is available in WK, WKL, and HHKB layouts. The Holy60 only supports ANSI.

Yes, both support firmware customization. The Holy60 supports VIA, as shown by the included VIA firmware files. The Tofu60 V2 supports both QMK and VIA, according to its specifications and vendor description mentioning 'QMK firmware, VIA support'.

The Tofu60 V2 vendor description lists several plate material options available for separate purchase. These include Polycarbonate (PC), Aluminum, FR4, and Carbon fiber plates, allowing you to tune the typing sound and feel.

Both kits include Cherry screw-in stabilizers. The Holy60 listing specifies a 'Cherry screw-in stabs 60 set'. The Tofu60 V2 listing also includes 'Cherry screw in stabilizers x1 set' in its included items.

Yes, both kits include sound dampening foam. The Holy60 includes a 'Foam kit' with PCB foam and case foam. The Tofu60 V2 includes a more comprehensive 'Foam kit' with case foam, PCB foam, and an EVA switch pad.

The metadata for the Tofu60 V2 lists 'Pre-Built' as an extra feature, suggesting a pre-assembled version may have been offered. However, the primary vendor description presented is for a DIY kit, and the product is currently listed as a discontinued group buy, so availability is uncertain.

Both the Holy60 and the Tofu60 V2 have a 7-degree typing angle. This is confirmed in the specifications for both products, providing a consistent typing posture.
