What will you mostly use it for?
The TOFU60 V2 is the clearer fit for office, programming, and content creation when firmware support or layout choice matters. The TOFU60 3.0 has the more specific gaming feature, Hall Effect, and broader listed build configuration options. Travel is difficult to call from the available weight details, since only the V2 has a stated weight. Both are 60% kits with hot-swappable support.
Pick the KBDFans TOFU60 3.0
- The TOFU60 3.0 lists Hall Effect as a feature, which makes it the more directly gaming-oriented option here.
- The TOFU60 V2 lists QMK and VIA support but does not list Hall Effect.
