What will you mostly use it for?
The Tofu has the edge for desk-based work where a function row, screen, and RGB are useful. The Tofu65 V3 suits buyers prioritizing a smaller layout or experimenting with its optional PCB gasket mount and vendor-listed build choices. Gaming is a trade-off: the Tofu has a lower listed polling rate, while both list Hall Effect support. Neither is a fit for standard MX switches, and neither layout includes a numpad.
Pick the KBDFans Tofu
- The Tofu lists a 1000 Hz polling rate and the Tofu65 V3 lists 8000 Hz, but both include Hall Effect switches.
- The Tofu adds RGB and a screen, features absent from the Tofu65 V3 listing.
