The TOFU65 3.0 represents the latest evolution of a true community icon: a 65% keyboard case that blends the classic TOFU design language with modern engineering, improved acoustics, and a wide range of premium materials. While the exterior stays true to its minimalist roots, the internal structure has been completely redesigned to deliver a more flexible, refined, and high‑quality typing experience.

✨ Why the TOFU65 3.0 Stands Out

Iconic design, reimagined: The familiar silhouette remains, but the redesigned bottom with its split USB‑port section and optional two‑tone finishes adds a bold visual touch.
Premium materials: Available in sandblasted, anodized, or e‑coated aluminum — paired with bottom cases made of aluminum, copper, or stainless steel.
Dual‑mount system: Choose between a classic top mount for a firm, precise typing feel or a PCB gasket mount for maximum softness and flex. Both mounting styles have been fully re‑engineered to deliver a noticeably improved sound profile.
Integrated force‑break system: Custom‑shaped silicone pads reduce case resonance and eliminate metallic ping, resulting in a clean, controlled acoustic signature.
Modular & future‑proof: Multiple PCB options (soldered, hotswap, dual‑mode), a variety of plate materials, and optional accessories make the board highly customizable.

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 references.

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 mmediately 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.
