What will you mostly use it for?
The V3 is the clearer fit for gaming and carrying a board without relying on a wired connection, based on its magnetic-switch features and wireless support. The V2 better suits buyers who need broader listed layout choices or want QMK. For modding, the V2's vendor-listed build components give it a more detailed kit configuration, while both boards support hot-swapping and VIA. Content creation is a close call because the supplied features do not establish a clear advantage for either board.
Pick the KBDFans TOFU60 V3
- Hall Effect switches and Rapid Trigger are listed on the V3.
