TOFU PAD

Keyboard Overview

TOFU PAD A Refined Desk Companion Uncompromised Efficiency: The 2026 launch marks the arrival of our optimized ultra-low power Bluetooth architecture, drastically reducing the need for frequent charging. Pure Minimalism: Designed to be truly wireless, the Tofu PAD removes necessary cables from your desk mat, aligning perfectly with the Tofu series' signature clean aesthetic. Signature Customization: Following the standards set by our Tofu60, 65 3.0, and TKL models, the PAD is available in a variety of premium materials and colors to match your unique preference. Case Design Craftsmanship & FinishExpertly crafted, the Tofu PAD 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 IntegrityInternally, the Tofu PAD 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 LanguageVisually, the Tofu PAD 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, making it both immediately captivating and enduringly timeless. Integrated Force Break SystemThe 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 profile. Specs Top case material: Aluminum (anodized/e-coating/RAW) Bottom case material: Aluminum/Copper/Stainless Steel (anodized/e-coating/RAW/textured/Sandblasted) Mounting style: Top Mount/PCB Gasket PCB: 1.6mm, 2 options, solder/Dual-mode hotswap Plate: Alu/Carbon fiber/PC/FR4 Plate Typing angle: 9 degree Weight bar: Aluminum with Anodized Copper, and Copper Designer: Wei Update To be updated What's included Top case x1 Bottom case x1 Optional weight bars x1 Silicone gasket x1 set Rubber feet x1 set PCB x1 Daughterboard x1 Optional foam kit x1 set Optional plate x1 Mounting Style PCB Gasket mount Engineered for SoftnessFollowing 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 PotentialCombine 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 StructureTo 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 DampenersSilicone 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 ModIncludes 4 Teflon pads to decouple case sections, effectively killing resonance and metallic ping at the source.

Its ultra-low power consumption delivers an incredible 6+ months of battery life from a single 1000mAh battery. 1.6mm thickness FR4 material Hotswap version Magnetic connector PCB Dimensions 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 Tofu60 5.0 project after the pre-sale ends. Will the design files be made public? Yes, the design files (for the plate, case, 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 FinishThe RAW version is unanodized 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.)
