How hard is it to read the polarity diagram on the back of mouse.
Wonder how much of a premium will Microsoft put in devices with InstaLoad tech in them.
What do you think? Are battery polarities such an issue that someone has to come up with this? We say, no thank you.

But it makes our life easier, just plug in the batteries the way we like, we do not need to take care about the polarity of the battery and sometimes the polarity diagram cannot be read easily (same colour, worn out and so on)…
