I did wonder why they don't simply incorporate a magnetic sensor (even a $0.09 reed switch) and have that be the mode switch etc as well as enabling charging in the base station.
Something like a set of beads where the main unit is the vibrator, and the smaller beads are the magnet and an additional smaller motor.
Also worth adding: flesh tuned LED so the unit can be strobed and/or be used as a position indicator.
