I am not a gamer or power user. There are 6 profiles and you can program any button to go to a specific profile to jump between setups. I use the MACRO function to define a single key for each button, in most cases. You can also make any button a fire key, 3 5 or user defined number of times. You can set up complex key combinations as macros, as well as single keys. Good luck, I can't imagine not being able to do any function you want from the various buttons.

It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it... You don't have to cycle through all the modes if you don't want to, there is a tactical mode available... With the flashlight off, just press and hold the button for a second or two and the light will come on full bright, when you let go of the button it will turn off. Or, in high mode, press and hold the button for a second or two and then release, the flashlight will go off without having to toggle through the strobe setting. If you press and hold in low mode, the light will turn to high mode, and will shut off when you release the button. It does have the strobe function, but there is a way around it...

The modes are built into the led light / board. Not the flashlight. I bought 2 lights and 1 was single mode other was 5 mode and I was able to swap them and one advertised as 5 mode was always 5 mode.

It says in the description it is a 5 mode. Its right under the pic. I`m not sure which one that is. I have bought a couple of them and they are not really descriptive on the light itself. It should tell you how many modes it has in its description. I personally like the single mode, I really dont need the quick flash and the slow flash. I know one thing DON'T GET A ZOOM Flashlight. I hate it and it looks like crap...

It's switchable between free spin and ratchet. You can customize which button you want to use to switch between. You can also set it to one mode that you prefer and not have your switching assigned to anything.

Switching modes is simply turning the head on/off in sequence. You can do it one-handed, and it seems very reliable. The nice thing about the twist on/off (vs tail cap) is that it's less likely to get turned on by accident (while in a pocket or bag, for example).

No. Pressing the switch until it clicks will toggle on/off. Pressing the switch part-way will advance through the modes once per press. The only downside is that when you turn on the light it will be in the next mode from the one it was in before the light was turned off because while clicking the switch does turn off the light, it also advances the mode. However, you can cycle through the five modes quite quickly once you are used to it. Its not ideal but i have used mine almost everyday for the last two years and it really isnt very annoying.

Yes there are 4 modes that you can use. You can also turn the pin seeker technology off as well.

Depending on the model you get, when you hold the play/pause button you'll see these options: fod ALL rAN One You just have to hold the button, until one of the options you want comes up. I have two of these gadget and the options are in different order. You want rAN (for random) The other options just repeat "one" repeat "folder" or repeat "all."

It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?) "transition" times per 24 hour period that you can program into it. A transition is from off to on, or from on to off. To do this for 24 hours would require 48 transition times. So, I guess the answer is no. You could use 2 of them with the contacts connected in series. Program 1 unit for 12 hours of transitions, and the other unit for the other 12 hours.***REVISION*** OK, I just looked at the manual, and it has 17 on/off transitions, NOT 31. So you would need 3 of these connected in series if you want 24-hour operation of on/off every 15 minutes. It's been a few weeks since I read the manual. My best recollection is that it has 31(?)

Twist it on/off quickly. Each time will switch between the three modes. Not the most intuitive, but once you know it, you know it.

Yes you must cycle through all the modes with both the wire/pressure pad and the button.

If you push the button 2 times fast it will go to the next mode. Do it again and it will be in the 3rd mode . etcHope this helped

The modes change with each button press in the following sequence starting witth OFF: ON (solid)-OFF-ON (FAST BLINK)-OFF-ON(SOS pattern)-OFF. However, the flashlight can act erratic sometimes as it isn't 100% repeatable depending upon how quickly the button is pressed. I believe the control feature is fairly unsophisticated and as a result the function is somewhat indeterminate. I haven't used mine for long periods of time so I can't speak to the long term reliability of the bulb, but when its on it is extremely bright. I hope this helps.

One mode is just off and on. Some have multiple modes... High... Low... Strobe. I've ordered from the same people twice and got both types. The three mode ones work great so I reordered and got the one mode and they are a piece of junk so beware.
