Cherry MX Petal Switch Review

[ThereminGoat]

Hey all,

I told you all last week that this run of reviewing tactile switches wasn't quite over yet! This week, a deep dive into Cherry's latest of their custom community-oriented MX2A platform releases - the Cherry MX Petal - inspired by the light tactility of the ever classic Cherry MX Browns.

As always, thank you all for the continued love and support week in and out. The past few weeks at work has been especially rough on me and it felt nice to sit down and work on this review, even if it is a bit out there on focus and length.

Cheers,
Goat

If you’re troubleshooting this, I’d start by testing with the simplest setup possible - disconnect any extra peripherals or mods and see if the problem still happens. That usually helps narrow down whether it’s the board itself, a switch/socket, or something in the setup.
