description Tofu60 Overview
The Tofu60 is a high-quality or aluminum or custom keyboard kit designed for enthusiasts who want to build the ultimate quiet board.

help Tofu60 FAQ
What mounting style does the Tofu60 keyboard case use?
The Tofu60 uses a gasket mount design, where the PCB and plate are sandwiched between flexible gasket pads rather than being screwed rigidly into the case. This gasket mount naturally dampens vibrations and contributes to a softer, less metallic sound signature compared to tray-mount boards. It is one of the reasons the Tofu60 is popular among enthusiasts seeking a muted typing experience.
What PCBs are compatible with the Tofu60 case?
The Tofu60 is designed for standard 60% PCBs, with the DZ60 being one of the most commonly paired boards. Other 60% PCBs with standard mounting hole spacing generally fit as well, but buyers should verify compatibility with KBDFans' product documentation before purchasing. The DZ60 supports a variety of layout options including split spacebar and arrow key configurations.
What switches and mods make the Tofu60 the quietest possible build?
For maximum sound dampening, builders typically pair the Tofu60 with silent linear switches such as Cherry MX Silent Red or Gateron Silent Yellow, which have internal rubber dampeners that reduce bottom-out noise. Adding foam between the PCB and plate, polyfill in the case cavity, and a poron plate foam further absorbs sound. This combination produces what the community calls a 'thocky' or very muted sound profile.
