You need the laser in order to check the temperature of whatever you are checking it won't read with it off and I am not even sure it turns off as once you press the trigger it is activated

Yes, the laser has an on-off switch. I use it for several purposes- one being to check parrot temps & turn off the laser when doing so. The laser really only gives you an aiming point IF you need to be exact on what you want temp reading on.

It turns off automatically after a few second (10-15)...it should do very well for what you want.

Yes you can manually turn it on and off. It does have an on off button. The button goes from off. to on with a solid laser , then from solid to a flashing laser and then to off again.

I see nothing when it is on. The laser goes off when the mouse is turned over, so there is no eye danger. Not sure what you mean by courtesy light. I love the mouse.

No, the laser always comes on when you pull the trigger to take a reading. If this bothers you, you can cover the laser with a piece of electrical tape.

Yes, the Destructor 2 will have no problem with a laser mouse. I highly recommend it.

Yeah we were suspicious about that as well. But the pointer works pretty good. Of course if u point to LED screen non of the laser pointers will work properly. I have surface pro it works okay with the screen. We use projector in our house. That works great with the light color wall.

Aloha, Amy, You have to hold the button, but you could easily arrange something with a rubber band if you needed a continuous red dot. I'm guessing that the battery life might be severely limited and the laser might overheat if you kept it on too long. If you need a continuous red laser dot, you might want to experiment with a cheap single function pointer rather than take a chance on hurting this little beauty.

Yes, that procedure does turn off the "Plasmawave", which several reviewers said was not possible on this model. The unit continues to operate normally, but without the "Plasmawave" (which several reviewers found to be dangerous?). Also, when I saw the $99 + Free Shipping price this morning, I ordered two more (I have three already), and AMAZON denied me two, but let me order ONE ONLY! That's when you know this is a true bargain!

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.

Yes. There's a dial where you can select laser and light, light, or just laser

I do not turn it off. It would save on batteries if I did. I've had to replace the batteries once. You will know when you need to replace them because the mouse will act funny.

First try unplugging and plugging it back in. If that doesn't work, look at the bottom and see if the laser is on. If it isnt, the laser could be dead. You could try reinstalling the mouse drivers.If all of that fails, i recommend getting a new mouse. Go for the $20-$50 logitech mice. Much better quality and never break.

Yes, you can turn it off... But if the luminosity sensor consider that it's too dark the flash is going to shoot anyway.

No. The Targus works specifically to advance and reverse powerpoint presentations and has a built in laser pointer.

I use mine all the time and I usually change it maybe once a month or so. I do not turn it off. You can turn off the mouse when you are not using it.

The pressure switch allows you to have your laser pointer mounted and ready to go without having it turned on constantly. You can aim your weapon and by holding pressure on the switch, light it up with your laser beam. It saves your battery and doesn't give away your presence until you are ready.
