Hey, I’m currently at university and I’m only home on the weekends. That’s why I turn off my PC and use the backswitch from the PSU. Yesterday I accidentally turned it on slowly (took about 2 seconds) instead of a quick click, and I heard a faint noise. From what I’ve read, it was a small delay and this switch isn’t meant to be clicked slowly. I’ll remember that for next time. But I wanted to ask if there’s anything to worry about—my PC seems fine and my PSU is 4 years old (BeQuiet Straight Power 11 850w). I’d appreciate some advice, especially since I have OCD and it’s another thing on my mind.

Don't change what's already good.
If it's functioning, keep it as is.

It's normal. It occurs frequently, even at high speeds, with certain arcs forming inside the switch. Nothing will change, but you should avoid repeating this action.
