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

Great review as always Goat! Actually got me fairly interested in this switch as it sounds like Cherry honestly made a concerted effort to improve the feel over MX browns. Although the break in stats are a little underwhelming, I bet if hand lubed they shouldn’t deviate in sound so much over time. Gonna have to give these & Cherry’s new light linear a try here sooner than later. Anyways, hope you’ve been doing well bro, haven’t had a chance to BS with you in a hot min. Also hope your artisan collection is coming along nicely too as it seems the resin is starting to get it hooks into you too!

Why are they doing this to me? I am just finishing an MX2A Brown build.

having just reviewed the Goji Reserves, having once again gone on about the Blueberry Chiffons, and with me actively making plans to do content on some other new light tactiles such as the Greetech OG switch re-releases, that well also feels like its drying up a bit too.
I sympathize with it seeming as if the well of light-tactile switches is limited.
However, I would say that there are a number of light-tactiles from the past few years that have yet to be reviewed:
There’s Gateron Mini i, HMX K01, Gateron Longjing Tea, AKKO Bittersweet, Gateron Jupiter Brown, Gateron Beer, WS Light Tactile, and KTT Macaron Orange.
Some of those, such as the K01 and the Bittersweet, seem to have been released in the past year. Most are still available for purchase.
[Granted, the Beer and the WS Light Tactile were reviewed among the “Switch Scores” shorts.]
