Typeplus Peacock

Quick Summary

The Typeplus Peacock is a light, full-sounding nylon linear from a newer maker that leans on tight component tolerances. It is smooth with a faint hint of scratch, low on wobble, and warm in voice thanks to all-nylon housings. If you want a relaxed, thocky linear for a daily typing board and do not mind a light hand-lube to perfect it, the Peacock is a likeable, well-built option.

Specs and Feel

This is a light linear: roughly 38g actuation and 51g bottom-out over a full 4mm of travel, with 2.0mm of pre-travel and an 18mm single-stage spring. The POM stem sits in PA66 nylon top and bottom housings — that all-nylon construction is the defining acoustic choice, since nylon absorbs the brighter frequencies and gives the switch its rounded, thocky character rather than a sharp clack. Typeplus’s pitch is tighter tolerances and reduced stem wobble through their component-by-component assembly, and in hand the wobble is genuinely low and the keypress consistent. There is a mild scratch present stock — honest but not harsh — which is the main thing separating it from a fully buttery premium linear.

Tuning

Stock, the Peacock is good but not flawless: that slight scratch is the one thing worth addressing. A thin hand-lube on the stem rails and a light pass on the springs cleans it up and deepens the already-warm sound noticeably — this is a switch that rewards the effort. The low wobble means films are optional rather than necessary. The single-stage spring is fine as-is, though spring swaps are available if you want a different weight. Some listings offer it pre-lubed, which is the path of least resistance if you would rather not tinker.

Verdict

Buy the Peacock if you want a warm, full-sounding light linear and enjoy a bit of hand-tuning, or buy the lubed version if you do not — it sits in similar territory to other nylon-housed thock linears, trading a touch of stock smoothness for a deeper voice. Skip it if you want a feathery-smooth experience with zero work or a brighter, clackier sound. For the price, it is a confident debut switch worth a look.
