TOFU65 3.0 Kit

TOFU65 3.0
The Icon, Refined
As the third evolution in the series, the Tofu65 3.0 strikes a perfect balance between heritage and innovation. Externally, it preserves the beloved minimalist contour of its predecessor, the Tofu65 2.0. Beneath the surface, however, the internal architecture has been meticulously reimagined. The Tofu65 3.0 is more than just a new design attempt; it is the definitive continuation of a classic.
Case Design
Craftsmanship & Finish
Expertly crafted, the Tofu65 3.0 case comes in two premium finishes. Choose the silky-smooth feel of sandblasted anodized aluminum or the fine, matte texture of our rich E-coating. Both perfectly highlight the case's clean, sculpted lines. Structural Integrity
Internally, the Tofu65 3.0 carries forward the minimalist design heritage of the TOFU family while introducing a versatile dual-mounting system. This allows users to choose between a classic TOP Mount for a firm, responsive feel, or a PCB Gasket Mount for a softer, more flexible typing experience, catering to diverse preferences.
Visual Language
Visually, the Tofu65 3.0 introduces a bold design language. The bottom case features an exposed rear accent, splitting the USB port face into two distinct sections. This innovative construction enables striking two-tone color combinations, both immediately captivating and enduringly timeless.
Integrated Force Break System
The design includes custom-molded Force Break silicone pads. These pads create a buffer between case components, effectively dampening case vibration and eliminating unwanted metallic "ping," ensuring a cleaner sound.

Mounting Style
PCB Gasket mount
Engineered for Softness
Following a similar support distribution as the TOP Mount, the PCB Gasket is designed to provide a maximally soft, bouncy, and flexible typing experience.
Plateless Build Potential
Combine this mount with the solderable PCB to assemble your board without a plate. This "plateless" configuration is the ultimate choice for achieving maximum flex and a unique, deep sound profile.
Top mount
Optimized TOP Mount Structure
To minimize resonance and hollowness, the mounting points for the TOP structure are strategically placed to avoid the spacebar area. This results in a more uniform and satisfying sound signature.
Top Case Mount Silicone Dampeners
Silicone dampeners provide complete physical decoupling of the positioning plate from the upper housing. This design mitigates resonance conduction at its origin, significantly reducing structural noise. Top case mount method is easier to install.
Force Break Mod
Includes 4 Teflon pads to decouple case sections, effectively killing resonance and metallic ping at the source.

FAQs
Can I request a different color after making a purchase?
This pre-order is for our standard color options. However, we also offer a paid upgrade service for custom colors.
Custom color options are a pre-sale exclusive. They will not be available for the Tofu65 3.0 project after the pre-sale ends.
Will the design files be made public?
Yes, the design files (for the plate and battery filler) will be released for download after the Pre-order is completed.
Do you offer custom colors for the texture?
Yes, It's available
Why is there only a dual-mode (Wired + Bluetooth) version and not a tri-mode (Wired + Bluetooth + 2.4G) version?
Our current firmware is based on an open-source solution that does not include a 2.4G wireless component. We believe dual-mode meets the needs of the vast majority of users. Furthermore, this keyboard features an ultra-low-power design, making it exceptionally energy-efficient. (From personal experience, I often lose the 2.4G dongles anyway.)
QC Standard
Upon receipt, the casing is considered acceptable if all six external surfaces (top, bottom, left, right, front, and back) are free from machining marks, stains, dents, and pinholes, and do not have any black dots larger than 1mm or scratches longer than 1mm.
The copper weight is considered acceptable if it does not have any black dots, pinholes, or blemishes larger than 1mm, and no scratches longer than 2mm.
Flaws and manufacturing artifacts that do not affect the overall external appearance are considered reasonable. This includes, but is not limited to: minor blemishes around screw holes, uneven internal coating, hook marks (from anodizing/painting) where the base color is exposed, and water marks, tool marks, or scratches on internal surfaces. Purchasing this product means you accept these terms.
Due to the significant weight difference between the top and bottom case parts, there may be slight color variations even when the same color is chosen for both.
Standards for RAW Finish
The RAW version is anodized and uncoated. It preserves the original look of the machined metal, including natural tool marks.
Acceptable Quality Standards (Not covered by warranty):
1. Minor scratches, tool paths, and small speck-like imperfections.
2. Variations in surface reflection or slight dark spots on the raw metal.
(RAW products are not sold as "flawless." By purchasing, you acknowledge and accept the inherent characteristics of this manufacturing process.)
