Fortnite as a game has fierce proponents as well as opponents, but no matter how you feel about the game it is no secret that Turner “Tfue” Tenney knows how to build a great looking keyboard. We have been getting many questions about his keyboards and a lot of requests to make a guide on how to recreate some of Tfue’s keyboards, so we’ve been dedicating some of our time to check out what keyboard parts Tfue likes to use and buy to make his creations. Tfue’s keyboards were shown on twitter here and here.

In this guide we’ll go over what brands of keyboard he likes to use, as well as go in-depth on the keycaps, switches, and all of that. We’re going to give you detailed instructions on how to build Tfue’s keyboard for yourself. If you were wondering how to buy Tfue’s keyboard we got you covered as well. You can find links to retailers for all parts in the post below.

Modding a keyboard isn’t that difficult (at least not when it comes to the basics, such as switching out the keycaps) so don’t be afraid to do some experimentation yourself. If you have any questions you can obviously always reach out.

You’ll only need three things to begin modding your own keyboard: a mechanical keyboard with a standard bottom row, replacement keycaps. Tfue’s keycaps are the Tai-Hao Rubber Gaming in different colors (but more on that later in the guide obviously). A keycap puller isn’t technically necessary but it will cost you next to nothing and it’ll make the whole process a lot easier so we do recommend getting one. Most keyboards also have one in their packaging, so it’s worth checking the box of your keyboard if you don’t have a keycap puller handy.

In any case; let’s get to building! We’ll keep this guide as up to date as possible, but if you see Tfue using any new keyboard feel free to contact us and we’ll add it to the guide.

Tfue Keyboard (Main)

Tfue Keyboard (Secondary)

Tfue’s new keyboard is a custom build. The circuit board (PCB) is the DZ60RGB-ANSI (60%) with built-in per key RGB backlighting. GMK Screw-In stabilizers reduce noise output from the Backspace, Enter, Shift and Space bar keys. The KBDFans 5 60% Aluminium Case in the color Cyan supports the MKUltra foam sheet (60% ANSI) as well as the Polycarbonate Plate and the MKUltra foam sheet (DZ60RGB) lay on top of each other in the listed order. Two foam sheets dampen noise from keypresses greatly. Hako Royal Clears switches use 65G Gold Springs instead of the stock springs which make them sound distinctly tactile. The key cap set is the Tai-Hao Miami Lights which covers all the key caps except the Enter key, Escape key and Space bar. Those are custom-made Tfue design key caps. A 550 Cotton Candy Coil leads into an Aviation Connector to act as a USB cable.
