Sucks having to turn a light on to put this mask on. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
The easiest and simplest way to tell is to run your finger along the front of the mask at the spot where the small mask hose meets the bottom of the mask frame. Since the small mask hose comes in at an obvious back-to-front angle, that means that when the mask is on correctly you will feel with your finger an extra piece of plastic between the hose and the frame but when the mask is on incorrectly you will not feel with your finger that piece of plastic but only hose and frame.

Great! I never noticed that logo before. Thanks very much.

I don't feel for a logo. I just feel for that piece of plastic between the small hose and the mask frame.

There is the rotation piece at the host but that does not feel like it is intended to be separated. I always feel for the ridges at the top of the mask anyway.
No...I meant a separate connecting piece between hose and mask you you can disconnect at the mask level and leave the other part in the hose so the rubber won't get touched or stressed with repeated connects/disconnects.
Lots of them out there and very cheap too.
Some have swivels and some are simply hose connector adapters.
Here's one of the fancier ones.

OK I misunderstood and thought you meant the swivel already on the mask.

Or use the ResMed clips that are included with the mask on just one side of the mask and then it's super easy. I have the one clip that I use on the left side of the mask so I just feel for the clip, turn it to the left side, and the mask is perfectly aligned. Super easy and tactile even for someone with carpal tunnel. The added benefit is that the mask will fit a little better. It is true that the P 10 is one of the hardest masks to align in the dark.
