Comments on Typeplus Peacock switches | Comments on TTC X Pantheonkeys PT Black switches |
Typeplus Peacock switches are linear switches from Typeplus, a new switch manufacturer focused on meticulous quality inspection for every switch component. Featuring a classic Nylon housing blend with a POM stem to showcase their attention to detail, from tighter tolerances, reduced stem wobble, and a consistent keypress. Typeplus uses a "combinational manufacturing" approach by utilizing specialized manufacturers for individual components before final assembly and quality check at the Typeplus facility. By optimizing each part separately, Typeplus is able to utilize the best components from different factories to create their ideal switch – Divinikey. | PT Black, a new switch co-developed by TTC and Pantheonkeys, draws its design inspiration from the familiar and beloved Cherry MX Black switch. Our goal is to retain the classic feel while optimizing it to improve some common problems. The first focus is on smoothness and consistency: some Cherry Black switches can have a scratchy feel in their stock form, and there can be slight variations in feel between different batches. The PT Black features further optimization in structural tolerance control, resulting in higher overall smoothness and more stable consistency. The switch achieves a tight, solid feel without applying a film – TTC. |
