Compare KBDFans Holy60 vs Tofu60 Redux Differences Side by Side

This comparison is for builders choosing between two KBDFans 60% tray-mount DIY kits that share a similar footprint but differ in firmware, materials and included parts. The Tofu60 Redux lists QMK and VIA support, NKRO, USB-C and acrylic case options, while the Holy60 lists VIA support, an aluminum-only case and a bundled foam kit with Cherry screw-in stabilizers. Because both are barebones kits that require switches and keycaps, the decision hinges on firmware flexibility, case material and what comes in the box.

Pros and Trade-offs

Choose the Tofu60 Redux if you want QMK and VIA, N-Key Rollover, USB-C and the option of an acrylic or E-coated aluminum case. Choose the Holy60 if a lighter aluminum tray-mount case with included PCB and case foam and Cherry screw-in stabilizers fits your build plan better. Both are barebones 60% kits, so budget for switches and keycaps either way.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

The Tofu60 Redux takes most categories because of its QMK and VIA support, N-Key Rollover, USB-C and wider case material choice. The Holy60 remains a reasonable office pick thanks to its bundled PCB and case foam and its lighter listed case weight. Travel and general portability come out roughly even since both are wired 60% kits with the same typing angle. Modders and programmers lean toward the Redux for firmware and material flexibility, while the Holy60 suits buyers who want a straightforward aluminum tray-mount build with foam included.
