Frequently asked
Is the Cherry MX2A Petal Light a heavy or light switch?
It is decidedly light. Actuation lands around 30g with a bottom-out near 45g, making it one of the gentler tactiles Cherry offers and an easy transition for linear users.
Does the Petal Light come pre-lubed?
Yes. It ships with factory lube on the MX2A mechanism, so it feels smooth out of the bag and needs no work to be usable.
Who is the Petal Light best suited for?
Linear users curious about tactility, and typists who want a subtle bump without the fatigue of a heavy spring. It is a poor pick if you crave a sharp, pronounced tactile event.
