I am talking about ignition. Wrote this in a hurry on the way out the door tonight. Yeah, I have the hardest time getting the key in the ignition. It’s like prom night every time I get in the car. Oh yeah, I have the “dome light” on, it’s simply not bright enough to see anything. It’s Like I need a LED ring around the key hole.

I think the best solution is to simply re-wire the ignition to use a start button. A friend of mine did this with an old car. It was super easy and operated EXACTLY how any 10 year old would assume an awesome car would.
switch one: fuel pump relay
switch two: clutch switch
button three: starter
It was pretty sweet. Oh and you don't need the switch one. He just did it so he had more switches. The fighter jet gun red ones with the latch cover.

OP, I find myself frustrated EVERY spring with this very issue. It takes me a while to build up the muscle memory again and height may also play a role but I find Mazda's design of the lock cover is poor. If you notice, many or most vehicles are designed so you get the key close and the convex curve guides it towards the center of the lock, not so with my '01 Miata, nor my previous '99 if I remember. It's been a while since I looked but it might even be slightly concave. It's definitely not user friendly!
