As you can see in the top right, when the LE is plugged in while playing in a dark room, there’s quite a bit of light shining through the front of the translucent shell (brighter and more distracting than this photo really illustrates). Didn’t think about the possibility because it was never an issue with the opaque standard shell, as the light only shines through the top side of the shell, which you weren’t looking at.
Would be nice to see a toggle to disable that light when playing (can tell if charging or not via the display anyway in that case). Until then I guess the only reasonable fix is to not play while plugged in (or electrical tape, lol).
It’s a portable device, use it. The battery will need to replaced eventually sooner or later.
Oh, no I think you’ve got the wrong idea. I’m not saying I would ever forgo its portability for some anxiety of battery health. I’m just saying that in my position, I typically have access to a plug right next to me. In this case I will reach over and plug it in and it doesn’t make much sense to intentionally unplug it if you care about getting the most out of your purchase. I mean, hell, that’s actually extra effort to unplug it when it’s already plugged in.
