Answer: a server rack measures 2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a US interior door at 2 m.
A full rack is commonly around two metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a server rack when it sits beside a US interior door — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a camera drone measures 35 cm (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a large pizza at 35.6 cm.
Measured diagonally between motors, the dimension most drone regulations use.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a camera drone when it sits beside a large pizza — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.

The largest home console ever sold, almost entirely because of its cooling.
Common miss: players tend to compress a PlayStation 5 when it sits beside a wine bottle — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a game controller measures 16 cm (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a hard-shell taco at 15 cm.
Controller width has hardly moved since the 1990s — hands did not get bigger.

Answer: a computer keyboard measures 44 cm (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a laptop computer at 35 cm.
Full-size boards owe their width to the number pad; tenkeyless models lose about 10 cm.
Common miss: players tend to compress a computer keyboard when it sits beside a laptop computer — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
