You could wait for the qk60 too, that is dropping next quarter. That is the only thing I would recommend as an alternative. Additionally, their is the mode envoy since it is a 65%, but it will take a while to ship too.

The nk65 is one I would not recommend due to it just being too barebones of a design and the value not being there.

The q2 is good, but it is also a bit of an industrial design, very angular yet not as clean as the tofu.

Tofu 2.0 is a great value and honeslty, if you want to get it now it isn't a bad option. Only alternate if you want to buy now is the envoy. I would look it up and do more research. (make sure to also look at the qk60, though it is a 60%).

Thanks! I’m leaning towards the tofu after reading this and the other comment. Any recommendation on what plate to get?

I would probably recommend a polycarbonate, or fr4. Since it is going to be you first real custom board. I would say polycarbonate is a bit more forgiving when it comes to the switches you pick, it should carry less spring ping, leaf ping, and unpleasant sounds.
