But lately I switched to the "braille" approach where I feel for the "bumps" on the metallic part of the usb connector which correlates bottom of the device and the smooth part of the usb connector which correlates to the top. Eventually, I plan on just putting a colored piece of tape to indicate which is the top and bottom of the usb cable.  |
A thick dot of cheap finger nail polish on the 'top' side works well. You can feel it in the dark, or see it in the light.
