I have 2 originals when Naked PC sold them. They each allow turning on and of with a switch (so my hand doesn't cramp). Does this one?

Oh, yes! There's a tiny switch close to the base of the light (looks clear) which you can click on, then off. You need to use your fingernail.

Yes, it has a small switch to allow the light to remain on without keeping the button pressed.

Yes, the Photon II has the tiny switch. This is what makes it the best one. The Photon I has no switch, and the later Photons have overly complicated electronic switches with strobes and other useless crap that make them unreliable and hard on batteries. Get the Photon II.

This model is ambidextrous. You can turn it on with either hand, but have to turn it off by pressing the opposite side to recenter the switch to the off position.

In runs when plugged into the USB port. There is no off switch. If your computer is in stanby, but the ports are powered, it will continue to run 24/7. I wish I would have realized this thing had no switch. It's a good value, but I should have bought the X2/X3.

Hi: Joanne, I do know it has an on switch to high and low. I know you can call the manufacture by looking them up on the PC under the brand name. I know you need to call them or return it to Amazon. Don't wait get a new one.There is something wrong. Once it is on enjoy.C. Argento PS it took one day for ours to run. love it.

It does both. You have to hold down one of the buttons when turning it on alternate from either.

Mine is pretty secure inside both covers. I definitely noticed issue 1 though. I was tearing out my hair wondering what was wrong with the mouse and why it wouldn't switch profiles. :o

The button is very "tactile" and takes a positive press to turn on. When I carry it in a brief case I unscrew the head slightly to prevent accidentally turning it on. Simply tighten to turn on.

Yes, press the MIN buttom to turn on or off. The button is hard to push, so you won't be pushing it accidently.

Hi Kevin.Not entirely sure as I only have the non-"V" model, but my best guess is that my model's key pad lights up when using it whereas I cannot find in the "V" product description if that is true. If that is the case, I find it a useful feature and probably worth the couple bucks extra. Hope that help!Tim

Yes unlike previous versions which had two buttons, this model only has one to turn it on and off.TCB

I find that my left hand does not turn it on and off as reliably as my right hand. I suspect it has something to do with the electrical charactistics of my hand (not enough capacitance to make it register my touch maybe, or not enough temperature difference between my finger and amvbient--I don't know what their switching criteria is).But previously I bought a kindle touch screen and and it was even less responsive to my touch (I sent it back). I assumed that it was a problem with me (I an old and my hands are cold).Question: do you also have cold hands? Have you tried using a finger on the other hand?

Not that I know of. As a matter of fact, I bought this because I lost my original on another switch.

Yes, there is a source button under the display next to the power button that switches between input sources. I have my desktop and laptop attached and switch between them. The only limitation I have found is you can only have one PC hooked up to the USB to the display for touch support, so only one pc can utilize the touch capabilities. No worries for me since I do not use touch on my laptop.

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

You have to raise your hand....onw bad behaivor I get when turning of the screen...sometimes it goes on and directed to search becuase of the buttons...it is very sensitive...

Mine works but not well. I get best results when I repeatedly operate the switch instead of just holding it.

Hi Toby, no, the switch is either on or off. If you slowly press the button, it latches before the LED comes on.
