What will you mostly use it for?
The TOFULL is the more practical fit when a complete ANSI keyboard and dedicated numpad are priorities, including many office and programming setups. The TOFU PAD stands out for use as a separate numpad and for its listed wireless and Bluetooth connectivity. Modding is close on the listed hot-swap and firmware features, with the TOFULL vendor description adding mounting choices. Gaming depends mainly on whether you need a full layout or a standalone numpad, since both list wired connectivity and the same typing angle.
It's a tie
- Both list wired connectivity, hot-swappable support, and a 9° typing angle.
- The TOFU PAD is a numpad only, while the TOFULL is a complete 100% keyboard, so the useful choice depends on whether you need a separate number pad or a full layout.
