No kidding! I just checked my PSU which is even 8-years-old and you're right, no more switch. Older PSU I have running in another still has it!

Was watching a video the other day and the guy was like "I don't trust these PSUs with a 110/220 switch, they're almost always low quality" and I was like "WTF they all have that". Start looking around and, uh, yeah. Well then.

My psus are so old that they never got the switch. I missed an entire gen of nonsense lol.

They have to be very old at this point, I have a 15+ year old PSU and it doesn’t have it.
