Best for

What will you mostly use it for?

The TOFU is the more compelling fit for gaming and travel, primarily because its listing includes Hall Effect, a polling rate, and wireless connectivity options. The TOFULL takes office and programming use if a dedicated numpad and VIA or VIAL support matter more. Modding is a close match, with both kits offering hot-swap builds and multiple plate choices. Content creation depends on whether the numpad or the TOFU's listed screen and RGB better fits your workflow.

For gaming

Pick the KBDFans Tofu

  • The TOFU lists a 1000 Hz polling rate and a Hall Effect feature.
  • Its 80% layout omits the numpad, while the TOFULL uses a 100% layout.
  • The TOFU lists wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz connectivity.
