Just mocked this up in paint, I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it.
Legit thinking of making one for myself using a cable and just some plastic I can cut and glue to the male mini-USB piece I cut out.
The light is actually bothering me. It's very visible on the bottom of my TV, and while I don't necessarily notice it as a "blue light on my screen constantly" with the changing colors on the screen it looks like I'm seeing a graphical glitch of sorts out of the corner of my eye.
