TOFU TKL

The TOFU series draws its design inspiration from the purity and versatility of its namesake. Its philosophy is one of minimalism, featuring clean, architectural lines reminiscent of a simple block of tofu. It is a design that strips away the superfluous, returning to the fundamental essence of a typing instrument.

As the latest evolution of this legacy, the Tofu TKL embraces this spirit of adaptability. Mirroring the culinary diversity of tofu, the TKL offers a choice of distinct case materials—Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Copper. This allows each enthusiast to craft a keyboard that perfectly matches their personal preference for weight, sound, and feel, creating an experience that is uniquely their own.

Case Design

Craftsmanship & Finish
The Tofu TKL case is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Each unit undergoes an ultra-fine sandblasting process, followed by a premium anodization that imparts a silky-smooth, luxurious finish. The housing is precision-sculpted, reflecting a dedication to quality in every line.

Structural Integrity
Internally, the Tofu TKL 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 Tofu TKL 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.

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.

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.

FAQs

Can I use KBD8X MKIII or VENOM HE PCBs with this board?

No, it only supports the proprietary PCB designed specifically for the TOFU case.

What is the latency for the wired and dual-mode PCBs? Is the dual-mode latency significant?

The latency is 1.25ms for MX-style switches and 0.125ms for magnetic switches. As expected, the latency in dual-mode (wireless) will be slightly higher than in single-mode (wired).

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 in collaboration with KEZEWA.

Will a half-plate made of steel be available in the future?

Yes, that's possible.
