Data cassettes using current LTO tech, but in standard compact cassette format
LTO cartridges are shaped so much more efficiently, for so many reasons, so why specifically compact cassette format?
Although I'm also just realising now that LTO is specifically optimized to be used linearly from start to finish (It's even in the name) and is pretty inefficient if you'd want to use it a bit, remove it and using reading it later.

Phone with dual sim card slots and a sdcard, plus pop-out camera (my present phone has all of that except the second simcard, and I refuse to replace this phone!) ** Charging port on top ** Slightly thicker to fit a larger battery - and possibly slightly better optics for the main camera.

Computer mouse about 15% larger than the "large" mouses they presently sell.

Detachable 10-key that's mirrored for easy left hand use.

In general, small electronic devices should have more than one button for interaction. It's easier to remember 3 different buttons than 3 different Morse codes to achieve the three different functions.

What phone do you have? I used to have a work phone that had 2 sim card slots and an sd card reader, a huge battery that was removeable without requiring restarting and an audio jack for headphones but no pop out camera and the camera kinda sucked. bluebird ef500r-anlt. no longer being made sadly. has an ir blaster too. love it, wish it still could operate as a phone.

Have you tried a vertical mouse? I have a Logitech MX vertical and a left handed generic one that is pretty much identical to it in size and love them.

I saw a mirrored one once, that wasn't detachable but on the left side of the keyboard and I regret not buying it because I haven't been able to find one since. Plus it was close to $1,000. I tried making a picture of the keyboard i dream of. It's still a work in progress, somethings aren't correct and i'm missing a few keys still. https://i.imgur.com/wBBxNf8.png

devices should only have one button if they only need to be turned on or off.

A decent brand of tws with multiple lights to indicate the amount of charge left. Also bigger battery.
All the branded stuff have single led with different colours to indicate charge percentage and also if paired or not.
I don't want to remember fcking rainbow to know all the features.
Strubb's pickles. They are supposed to be back under a new owner, but I still can't find them in any local grocery store.

You can easily get a case with an optical drive slot if you just get an older case. You can fit an older case with more modern components just fine. My current PC case is from 2017 and has an optical drive slot (which is fitted with an optical drive—though I'm afraid I've not used it in years...)
As for laptops with ports, they're out there but you may have to either get an older one or pay more money annoyingly. I wish it was standard for laptops to have ethernet ports. My modern, fairly mainstream trend-following laptop has all the other ports I need (USB obviously, HDMI, and 3.5mm headphone jack).

I want physical media that is not sold on optical disks. Sell me content on SD cards for example.
