inserting/ejecting syquests were fun because it was a multi-step process and if you did any part of it wrong it would permanently destroy the media and probably also the drive

camcorder cassettes into vhs adapters and then into a top-loading vcr was like living in the 2040s in the 1980s

This is gonna sound weird, but I want to say a mid-prized laptop's CD/DVD tray in a sense, because the mechanism felt so flimsy but somehow I've never had problems with them, always locked in perfectly. Maybe it's something about the hand position and the fact you push it in by yourself instead of there being a motor. also shoutout to ethernet. Flimsy af but the click is hard to argue with. (I don't do hardware much)

those tape drives that plugged into the floppy cable. slow and unreliable as gently caress, but inserting those tapes took some actual force and they clunked into place very satisfyingly

i had a plextor QUADRUPLE SPEED cdrom drive that used caddies and that was pretty nice but the real answer i'd go with is graph posted:adding in toploading betamax it remains a goddamn shame that betamax lost the video cassette war, superior in every way to bulky, clattery, insubstantial vhs

How was the insertion on a SuperDisk (LS-120)?

Mini-Disc was already mentioned but seconding it. Those small players felt awesome to hold, just a perfect form factor for the media and player. There was a satisfying springy-ness and clicking for all steps, like a future cassette player. Top loading video players were also mentioned, my parents still have a functional top loading Beta player and it was always fun to use.

post hole digger posted:3.5" floppy was the most satisfying to eject. some drives you really had to press that mf button down. plus if you pressed the eject button with enough impulse, you could get the disk to shoot all the way out

something i like with 3.5" floppy is that if you pay attention to the feel you can sense the mechanisms that are being powered by pushing in the floppy all sliding and clicking into place, like the dust cover being swept to the side and the eject button being pushed out and they all feel super durable

USB. Getting it wrong and then getting it wrong again and then finally getting it right makes me feel like God is constantly taunting me and when that metal slides in, I feel like I'm spitting in the face of God.

Brrrmph posted:Gameboy and Gameboy advance SP are two all timers i really like the carts, but tbh i think as mechanisms and feels inserting the carts is extremely unsatisfying. which is why i went ds for some nice springs and locking into place.
