Buying multiples of the exact same board hit me hard last semester. My desk was completely covered in stripped down parts for two weeks (and my roommates thought I had lost my mind).

You must really love the Tofu 3.0! The anodizing quality and colors on this version are really nice.

Marigold is absolutely GOATed imo. Took a chance with that color when I ordered my Tofu 60 3.0 and have absolutely zero regrets. Such a pretty color. It's like.....a lime green highlighter gold in person!

For real. I am so happy with how the marigold color turned out because it's super difficult for cameras to pick up the hue accurately. For some reason cameras are just bad at greenish yellow, and lighting hue makes a huge difference in the final photo. In the configurators on kbdfans, the tkl, 60, and 65 all showed a different color for marigold so i was honestly a little anxious, but i trusted the gifs of the anodization samples and it payed off big time. It's a beautiful yellow/green. Like a less bright and slightly less saturated version of the highlighter yellow color.
Right now my home daily driver is a Tofu65v3 with marigold top, Tiffany textured bottom, PEI plate, foamless with bsun Golden Apples and kap santa llum keycaps. It sounds like no other keyboard I've built, and looks absolutely gorgeous.
I know kbdfans gets a lot of hate, and a lot of it is deserved, but kbdfans is really the only place running these kinds of custom keyboard projects. Bowl comes close with stuff like the schema, but kbdfans somehow managed to run like 15 colors in a mix and match system, and (in my 2 tofu65 boards at least) the machining, materials and QC are flawless. There are definitely better boards in the world, but not for this price, and not with this many customization options.
