Do the regular black crosshairs work without power, in case of dead batteries or malfunction?

Yes, and that is one of the things I like best about this scope. Even when everything is functioning properly, during bright daylight, you can' even really see the illumination. I don't care about that. In lower light conditions, I love the green illumination, and it is very bright. The little extra money for the illumination is worth it. I love mine!

Yes and no. The trigger is a magnetic trigger so it is adjustable. The gun itself is electric. So it can not operate without batteries. The magnetic trigger trips an electric solenoid which fires the gun. Hope this helps.

It's not necessary. But it may help if it has a dimming option. It's needs to be on low to be able to see the hog and the crosshairs. Of course my green light didn't work right out of the box. But I did have success with the red anyway.

Yes. The reticle is on at all times, even when there is no battery in. The battery only opporates the illuminated reticle (it turns red or green). This scope is really nice and is highly recommended.

Yes, there's always a black reticle, the batteries are merely for lighting the... huge, enormous, thick, target-covering reticle. Seriously, the reticle was so huge it made it useless.

Never tried, really, hardly notice them with my hand over the mouse. For the money, I am overall very pleased with this mouse, it is sensitive, accurate, even my Skype game buddies noticed an improvement in my accuracy right away. For 10 bucks, who cares about the lights? Very low power draw, I suppose if you don't like them, you could just snip the wire to the first light I'm sure they're serially arrayed. I'll try to install the software, which I never did initially, just plugged in and jumped back in the team, back to you, give me a day.

Yes, the 'cross hairs' are just like a traditional scope, you only lose the red dot, which helps find the center of the reticle in low-light situations. For daylight use, I usually leave the red dot turned off.

Yes it goes black even when the battery dies it goes back to the standard scope.

The reticule is indeed black and functions just like any other scope - illuminated or not. So "yes" is the answer to your question!

no, they don't. just powers up when it 'sees' that the computer is active. I've been using it for about a month now with no problems. Hard to say yet how long the batteries will last but very happy so far.

Yes it works without the illumination. The reticle is just black and they shine a green or red light on them. I mainly use the scope without the illumination

Ive got several sets. They all glow well in the pitch black. No trouble finding sights in dark. Only front sight glows

It has to have batteries to run. I had this problem at the range, i turned the on switch and nothing happened......luckily I had extra batteries in my magpul stock so I popped them in and back on target in no time. This is a fantastic red dot sight for the money....its waterproof and the reticles stand out even in direct sunlight. If you want reticles that work without batteries the Trijicon ACOG might be an option however they are over a $1000.00. Good luck I hope this helps.

Yes. The brightness intensity/color thumbwheel will turn the dot off at the R and G positions. The dot (when on) however is very dim in sunlit conditions unless your target is dark to black.
