What will you mostly use it for?
The Q2 Max leads in the listed everyday-use categories because it combines wireless connectivity with RGB, remapping support, and other built-in features. Its travel advantage is particularly clear against the wired-only TOFU65 V2 Vior. For modding, the TOFU65 remains relevant as a DIY kit with two plate-material options, but the Q2 Max pairs hot-swap with QMK and VIA. Buyers who prefer assembling a simpler kit may still favor the TOFU65 despite its narrower feature set.
