KBDfans Unveils Tofu60 3.0: A New Era for Custom 60% Mechanical Keyboards
KBDfans has officially introduced the Tofu60 3.0, the latest iteration of its renowned Tofu60 custom mechanical keyboard series. This new version brings a host of enhancements and customization options, making it a standout choice for keyboard enthusiasts and gamers seeking a compact, high-quality typing experience.
Comprehensive Customization and Build Quality
The Tofu60 3.0 continues the tradition of premium construction, featuring a case crafted entirely from CNC-machined aluminum with an anodized finish. Users can select from a wide range of color options, all of which can be previewed using the KBDfans online configuration tool. The keyboard is available in several layouts, including WK (with Windows key), WKL (Win-keyless), and the highly sought-after HHKB layout. Both ANSI and ISO support are offered, catering to a global audience.
For mounting, the Tofu60 3.0 offers both top mount and PCB gasket mount options, allowing users to tailor the typing feel to their preferences. The bottom case is available in both matte and textured finishes, and buyers can mix and match colors for a truly personalized look. Additionally, the keyboard supports a variety of plate materials, such as FR4, PEI, polycarbonate, aluminum, and carbon fiber. For those who prefer a unique build, a plate-less option is also available, best suited for the soldered mechanical variant.
Versatile PCB and Connectivity Options
The Tofu60 3.0 offers a diverse selection of PCB options to suit different needs. Users can choose between wired mechanical PCBs (available in both soldered and hot-swap versions), wireless mechanical PCBs, and wired Hall-effect PCBs. The dual-mode mechanical versions support both wired and Bluetooth connectivity, providing flexibility for various setups. All wireless models are powered by ZMK firmware, which is known for its efficiency and robust feature set, although specific battery life details have not yet been disclosed by KBDfans.
Weight Bar and Pricing Details
To further enhance the keyboard’s feel and stability, the Tofu60 3.0 offers optional weight bars in aluminum, stainless steel, or copper. These can be added to the base kit for an additional fee, allowing users to fine-tune the keyboard’s heft and balance.
The barebones kit, which includes the case and PCB but excludes switches, stabilizers, and keycaps, starts at $130 and comes with a carrying case. Upgrading to a wireless hotswap PCB with ZMK firmware and internal case foams brings the price to $159.01. Weight bars are available for $15 (aluminum), $35 (stainless steel), and $51 (copper). The base Hall-effect version is priced at $165.01, not including a weight bar. For those seeking even more distinctive aesthetics, a "Custom Colors" variant is available at a premium price.

Pre-orders for the KBDfans Tofu60 3.0 are open from December 30, 2025, through January 30, 2026. Shipping is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
