Ramps with slot guides you can sense by poking your plug around will guide it into the socket for you. Just kind of twist it until you sense the guide slots and push it in.
Safer than poking around the two parts of a live circuit.
Could just have extention plugs that feature these to add to any
existing sockets or have it built into the sockets themselves. Could also be below or above for two prong outlets.
I'll draw a diagram.

Prettier but still not accurate.

The two plugs would be at the top with guide slots that would narrow or funnel into the target slots. [doctorremulac3, Apr 21 2025]

Guide slots are still wrong but AI gets confused. I'll print a 3D prototype and upload it. [doctorremulac3, Apr 21 2025]

Front view shows how it's kept the right horizontal orientation, this shows the guide slots for the horizontal alignment. Probably don't need the center alignment piece, just the outer. [doctorremulac3, Apr 21 2025]

Okay, another approach. Bit simpler.

I don't know why this hasn't been made yet. |

Hey V, I'm tripping on the same thing. Working on prototypes today. I have no idea why this isn't a thing yet but preliminary searches haven't turned up anything. |

Thank you WR, good prior art to cite. I'm seeing stuff like that but nothing with my funnel guide to the 3D funnel guides that end exactly at the prong inputs, orienting the plug in 3 dimensions to it can only land at the proper orientation. |

I'll upload the 3D print today if I get time. |
