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.
Craftsmanship & Finish
Expertly 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 Integrity
Internally, 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 Language
Visually, 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 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 profile.
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.
Force Break Mod
Includes 4 Teflon pads to decouple case sections, effectively killing resonance and metallic ping at the source.
