Product Description

The KBDFans Tofu60 3.0 is a 60% mechanical keyboard kit designed for enthusiasts who want a highly customizable build with modern features. It suits users who enjoy assembling and tuning their own keyboard, offering multiple mounting options and layouts. This board fits hobbyists seeking a solid aluminium case with flexible typing feel and sound customization, rather than those needing a ready-to-use or wireless-only keyboard.

Key Features

Multiple mounting styles including gasket mount for softer, dampened typing and top mount for a more direct, precise feel.
Plateless build option with solder PCB allows a unique typing experience by removing the plate rigidity.
Integrated force-break system reduces case ping noise, improving acoustic performance without extra mods.
Various PCB options including hotswap, solder, dual-mode hotswap (wired and Bluetooth), and Hall Effect (magnetic switches) for different user preferences.
Supports VIA, VIAL, and AVA software for extensive key remapping and customization.

Build Quality

Constructed from aluminium with anodized, E-coated, or raw finishes for durability and a solid feel.
Bottom case options in aluminium, stainless steel, or copper allow users to adjust weight and aesthetics.
Available in WK, WKL, and HHKB layouts, maintaining a classic 60% silhouette with a modernized design.

Typing Experience

Choice of plate materials (aluminium, carbon fiber, PC, PEI, FR4) lets users tailor sound and key flex to preference.
Gasket mount provides a softer, quieter typing feel by isolating the PCB from the case.
Force-break system minimizes case resonance, reducing unwanted ping sounds.

Connectivity

Dual-mode hotswap PCB supports both wired USB and Bluetooth connections, offering flexibility for different setups.
Other PCB options are wired only, limiting wireless use to specific models.

Trade-offs

As a kit, it requires assembly and soldering skills unless a hotswap PCB is chosen.
Bluetooth connectivity is only available on the dual-mode hotswap PCB, limiting wireless options.
Hall Effect PCB does not support ISO layout, reducing layout flexibility for some users.
No built-in software, relying on third-party tools for key remapping.
