I have read reviews where some users place the switch on the negative terminal while others specify the positive side. Which side is correct?

The correct way is on the negative side, this is for safety. You can use + ,but I used the - I've seen batteries blow up due too the spark,light'in up the gas from a car battery. The safest is on the - side...

either, but by placing on negative terminal you have a lesser chance at it shorting to chasis or any metal it touches

The red terminal is POSITIVE and the black one is NEGATIVE. I do not understand F1 and F2, as it may be specific to your schematic or circuit.

Hmmm, not sure what you are putting this on. In my application, one terminal is ground and the other positive. The positive went to the "ignition" terminal on the key switch.

Left when looking on the back of the screen (right I guess if you're referring to where it connects on the keyboard). I found this out the hard way because it was opposite for my computer. I eventually just carefully removed the tape that was holding it to the screen and moved it to the side I needed. I haven't had any issues with it so I guess it works.

The LED is wired internally in series with a current limiting resistor - probably 470-560 ohms. This is done to limit the current through the LED to something in the neighborhood of 20ma at 12 volts. You would normally connect the LED terminal to ground. When the switch is turned on, it would apply 12 volts to the ON side of the switch (which should logically be the positive side of what you were trying to power) and to the LED at the same time. If you moved the LED terminal (the one on the side) away from ground and to the OFF terminal, the switch would continue to work but the LED would not light since there would be no voltage difference between the OFF side and the LED terminal. If you left the LED terminal connected to ground and also connected it to the OFF terminal, as soon as you flipped the switch, you would have a dead short to ground. This would not damage the LED but it would likely destroy switch and possibly the battery. Why would you want to connect the LED terminal to the OFF terminal?

the switch is located in the bottom of the mouse it is very tiny , when you turn the mouse it will be located in the left upper side.

both . the switch goes both ways. but it really is weak air flow for ventilation.

Yes polarity matters. I don't know which is + or - however. I tested it one way, didn't work, reversed the polarity, worked.

When mounted, the positive terminal is away from the wheel well. This is the correct configuration for Gen 1 and Gen 2 Miatas.

The left terminal is battery negative. Next to it is battery positive. The right terminal is solar panel positive. Next to it is solar panel negative. If you need a pic, email is chanelok@earthlink.net. I hope this helps. Chuck

The polarity of the T connectors is standard -- the top bar of the T is positive and the post is negative. The labels on the diagram in the instructions are misleading since they are opposite to the orientation of the T sockets.

There is NO polarity switch. If using a projector, you'll need to use the invert on/off to resolve issue (not a big deal)

When you flip the switch on, it lites both sides. Guess you could add a pull-string toggle switch and wire to one side, and use existing switch for the other side....

No, as shown in the illustration, positive terminal is on the left, which is the way you want it for the earlier Miatas - it certainly fits fine for my 1997 Miata.

Sorry- looked at my controller and the positive is shared. Hook the negative from each panel to separate neg (-) terminals. Both positives share one terminal.

The positive terminal is on the back left, where it needs to be for my 94 Miata.

I don't have a schematic but the negative terminals measure zero ohms between them. The positive terminals show a high resistance. So I would say it is common negative. The two mounting pads appear to be isolated from the rest of the circuit.
