PointCTRL - Finger Mounted VR Controller

[TimSell75]

Hey Miles, only in some way by getting rid of my Razer Tartarus and replacing it with a cheap keypad by Reddragon. Could not get the Tartarus and the APBs work together.

My experience with Razer gear is that if you have too many of their devices plugged in simultaneously, it can cause other HIDs to disconnect.  How many Razer devices do you have connected now?

Funny business usually starts around device #3.

I have three currently:  The Leviathan v2 soundbar, the Deathstalker v2 Pro TKL keyboard, and the Basilisk v3 Pro mouse.  However, since the mouse and keyboard both connect to the same dongle, I only have two actually plugged in.  If you have a wireless keyboard and mouse from Razer, I'd recommend seeing if they're compatible with "Hyperspeed Multi-Device Pairing."

List of compatible devices:

Exactly right, I had 4: Keyboard, Mouse, Mousepad and the Tartarus. Seems Razer does not want people to buy too many of their stuff, very nice of them!

Quick question, I received a replacement HMS and I have the AUX buttons. I seem to remember that you needed to load a specific firmware to make those work. Unfortunately the firmware page does not load and times out. I went on Discord and leaned about the new experimental firmware. I downloaded it and started going through read first. One of the first steps is to download the original firmware.

has it been moved? The other PointCTRL pages work fine.

Thanks

Miles sends the HMS with the newest firmware already installed. I don't think that you have to install anything to make the AUX buttons work.

Yes this. Aux buttons should be recognized right away.

[DutchCoolHand]

Ok, thanks. And the AUX buttons still have a letter for each button? Because I wanted add the FCS-bit (y) for when you test the FCS in the hornet. Pushing any of the 6 buttons gave no letter. That is why I asked

It does on my V1 PointCtrl. You can simply open a notepad/word and click those buttons. Some characters should appear. If not, check the Aux Cables / Connectors.

Well I had a v1 and has been replaced with a v2 now. So are AUX buttons are listed as devices in the control, settings? I will have to test this tonight

I was able to test it tonight and is it correct that only 4 buttons respond? 3 on the left one and the middle one on the right one?

Hey Dutch,

 No I got a V2 replacement after I broke my USB port on my V1

Miles, I still have the original wires for the AUX buttons. So let me check later this week when I am home again.

[MilesD]

Did I send it with new Aux Buttons?

no because I asked for a replacement HMI. How about I just upgrade everything to the new blue version with the smaller FCU and AUX buttons

Awesome!
Let me know if you need anything.

Important Notice:

It looks like the last DCS update changed the ratio of the mouse cursor desktop to VR display. This now allows mouse cursor movement over the entire VR FOV.

Previously, on high resolution VR headsets like the G2, you were limited to the upper portion of the VR FOV.

PointCTRL will require a recalibration of both cursor targets and 5 point calibration. The current issue is the cursor graphic representations of the menu items is not visible now.

I will be pushing out an update tonight that will make the menu items visible again.

Thanks

Miles

That's strange D. Are you sure the cursor has not become overly sensitive?

The HotFix for the latest patch is on the website.
