Post title at limit, but meant to be peak tactile feedback in computer storage.

The space saved from being thin made it bad for looking up and finding a specific disk within a stack, tho, as it couldn’t fit an end label

    For similar reasons, I feel like Gameboy Advanced cartridges were the optimal size for handheld consoles. Switch cartridges are so tiny and fragile.

        If you don’t feel like you need to move your feet when you accidentally drop it (to avoid a toe smack) , it’s too small.

        MemoryStick Pro Duo was far worse. Sony, SanDisk, or PNY… Brand didn’t matter… they’d just split open over time. Thankfully Micro SD to MSPD cards came about.

      Switch cartridges also taste terrible, so simultaneously you need to put them somewhere to be sure you don’t lose them while switching cases AND you don’t want to make the mistake of finding out the hard way because you needed your hands free.

        They taste that way on purpose to stop little kids from putting them in their mouths and potentially choking.

          Oh, I know. I’m not a little kid but I probably shouldn’t put them in my mouth. Honestly, I’d be more worried about my dog.
