Frequently asked
Is the Cherry MX Petal 30g a heavy or light switch?
It is very light. At a 30g actuation force it sits well under the typical 45-50g tactile, making it one of the lighter tactiles Cherry ships and a good fit for anyone who finds standard browns fatiguing.
Does the Cherry MX Petal 30g come lubed from the factory?
Yes. It arrives factory lubed on the MX2A platform, so it feels smooth out of the bag and needs no hand-lubing for everyday use.
What stem and housing does the Petal 30g use?
A POM stem rides inside a nylon top and bottom housing, the same low-friction pairing Cherry leans on for its smoother MX2A switches.
