A Refined Tactile Mechanical Switch

Eengineered for smooth, quiet, and consistent performance. Built on Cherry’s updated MX2A platform, the Petal benefits from improved factory lubrication and tighter tolerances, resulting in a noticeably smoother keystroke right out of the box. Its linear travel delivers a clean, uninterrupted press that feels controlled and predictable, making it well suited for both typing and gaming.

Designed with sound reduction in mind, the Cherry Petal features an integrated damping system that softens bottom-out and return noise, producing a muted and comfortable acoustic profile without sacrificing responsiveness. The carefully tuned spring provides a light to medium key feel that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions while maintaining reliable actuation. Cherry’s signature gold-crosspoint contact system ensures stable electrical performance and long-term durability across millions of keystrokes.

With its classic Cherry MX form factor, the MX2A-GCBD is compatible with standard MX keycaps and PCB layouts, making it easy to integrate into a wide range of mechanical keyboards. The result is a modern Cherry switch that combines trusted reliability with enhanced smoothness and quieter operation, ideal for users who want a refined linear experience in shared or professional environments.

Smooth and tactile - CHERRY MX Petal

MX Petal reimagines tactility as softer, more graceful, more refined. The bump is smoother than traditional tactile switches, tuned for comfort that lasts. Instead of a sharp snap, it offers a gentle, flowing press that still lands with precision. The acoustics are warm and rounded, tuned for a pleasant sound profile. Visually, it speaks in quartz-rose and viva magenta. Expressive and made to stand apart. Developed with the keyboard community, MX Petal brings a new kind of feel: tactile, but smoother.

Inside CHERRY MX Petal

1) UPPER HOUSING

Upper Housing is a CAD high precision component made of plastic polymer. With a tolerance of less than 0.01 mm, the component guides the switching slide precisely, forming the CHERRY MX keyswitch’s switching mechanism housing.

2) SWITCHING SLIDE / STEM

A CAD high-precision component made of plastic polymer specifically for the Cherry MX creates the pre travel and the keystroke feel between the upper housing and coil spring. The key cap is attached on the upper part of the stem.

3) GOLD CROSSPOINT CONTACT

Gold-based, the crosspoint contact is the heart of every CHERRY MX keyswitch and the basis of its incredible reliability and durability. With absolute precision, these triangular cross-contacts meet each other at precise right angles. This unique CHERRY innovation and ornate gold-plating make the electrical contact enclosure self-cleaning and gives the keyswitch permanent protection against corrosion, guaranteeing the keyswitch for more than 50 million operations.

4) PRECISION COIL SPRING

The keyswitch’s coil spring pressure resistance is the CHERRY MX’s sparring partner for your fingers. The high-density molecular structure of the spring’s metal alloy is calculated individually on the keyswitch and consistently optimized for the keyswitch’s specific pressure force.

5) HOUSING BASE

Dual-functional, the housing base component is made of plastic polymer and glass fibre. The inner part forms the mounting for the CHERRY MX keyswitch’s switching mechanism. The outer part is both the base and mounting surface for CHERRY’s mechanical keyboards.
