My Pokemon blue version went through the washer and dryer probably 20 years ago and it still works to this day. Talk about some hardware. I wonder if an SD card would take that sort of abuse.

I suspect the heat of the dryer would be more of a problem than the water.

  • I've washed SD cards, cf cards and memory sticks and they all still work.

    Keyboards can also survive dishwashing with gentle soap. So can motherboards

    • I have a working(!) motherboard that survived an international flight in checked luggage, wrapped in nothing more than cotton t-shirts.

      I don't advise it, but tech can take quite some abuse.

    • I've always dishwashered all the keyboards I've owned. They usually come out looking new.

      (never tried it with a wireless one, so...)
