I didn't like the USB cable that came with the Forma and instead use a "standard" non-reversible USB cable. The one that came with the Forma just seemed sort of dodgy and I always felt like I was going to damage the connector in the Forma.

But I certainly do agree that having to get out the Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass to figure out which way to plug it in is a pain in the neck. I've solved that problem by having a cable where the cable comes out the side of the connector at a 90 degree angle instead of straight out like they normally do. So with the buttons on the right the cable goes up along the right edge.
