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.

I have this hand grip and love it. As with all my electronics, I always turn them off when not in use. It is just in case. I have not experienced any problems with the unit by shutting off both switches. I would advise that you do the same. Can only help.

I believe both are hidden, but one is motion activated. It doesn't turn on until something triggers it.

The neck is fairly long but extremely "pliable". The switch is very responsive but will not accidentally turn on even if your hand is nearby. You'd have to depress it.

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

I think it works great. The M button does toggle. You don't need to hold it in.

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

The light isn't a problem for me, although I don't game in the dark, I still I don't think it would be problem. It is very responsive; key binding the 2 side buttons are game specific; and I've never had any double click issues. Worth every penny. Plus when surfing the web side buttons fwd & back page.

I have had problems with the switch since I've had it. Another reviewer had mentioned moistening the fingertip, which does help on occasion. If it weren't for the switch issue, I would have purchased at least four more of these.

I never had that problem, it worked well for me. There might be a problem with the switch.

yes it is a normally open switch. if the switch is similar to the original switch get it. if the switch is not I suggest get a similar switch.

Hi Pam,I believe the difference is that the S version has an on/off switch while the other one doesn't.

The newer model has no top button that was never used anyway. Otherwise I have seen no difference at all, and I have purchased many of both versions for installations.

I think on the package it tells you you hold the button down for so many minutes and it will switch from one mode to another mode or switch it off. It works for me. I give it out as a Christmas gift this year and I tested it and it work fine before I wrapped it up.

I'm still happy. It does have an on/off switch. Just make sure that before you switch the enclosure off that you safely remove the hardware from your computer. That way you don't lose or corrupt your data.

If you experiment with the 2 white buttons you can toggle between C and F. Be careful with the buttons, my on-off button got jammed as I was experimenting!

Mine works as it should, but my brother has one that he changed the switch early on to one that was well made.
