Can I ask what game or emulator you are trying to get working that uses right click for off screen reload?

Basically every game works with it. The number of games that don't have an off-screen function is less common, and right click is the standard, basically every gun I've seen sends a right click instead of left click if you click outside of screen boundaries. Only titles like Time Crisis that use a pedal instead don't really have off-screen support. The few titles I've tried so far with just a left click gun would just fire at the edge of the screen if I tried to off-screen reload, but maybe there are a few that see "is gun at border? Then reload" rather than relying on the gun to say "I can't see the screen, send right click instead".

I think using the Inject DLL code I have it would also be able to not just turn off the clicks from Vive Mouse but also intercept them and resend them. It is probably also possible to get the x,y mouse co-ords and then change whether it is left or right click. That should also remove the need for the python code.

If something like that is possible it should be pretty useful.

If you have any problems compiling the Inject DLL code let me know

I used the pre-compiled version in the debug folders and it worked fine for disabling the vive buttons, with the exception of the menu button that still disables the cursor but that isn't really a big issue and I'm guessing it's hardcoded in vive mouse rather than something that's passed through and can be intercepted. With trigger, grip and trackpad that's still 3 usable buttons I can remap through OpenVR2Key because SteamVR still sees them fine.

Yeah, maybe you're right. Static calibration is fairly appealing, the problem is just everything else about the program is a bit half-baked and harder to get working than VD. I guess I could use OpenVR2Key and then something else to bind to mouse clicks. I'd also need to work out how to block Vive Mouse from receiving/sending keypresses like you did, seems like I need VS for the right dlls. Then I need to try and get AHK to intercept left clicks and turn them into right clicks if I'm clicking on the very edge of the screen for off-screen reloads. I also realised that vive mouse releases control of the mouse if you point it far enough off-screen, so I don't have to worry about wasting a button on it.

Can I ask what game or emulator you are trying to get working that uses right click for off screen reload? Most games I've seen use the same left click for firing and reload so it seems a bit odd. Maybe I could try it out.

Not sure where to post this. Probably everything else. I LOVE to tinker. I Just learned about HP thin client PCs After watching Videos of people running batocera and Prime OS on them I jumped to E Bay. I think I lucked out. I found a HP T620 Thin Client AMD GX-415GA 1.5GHz 4GB RAM 16GB Flash SSD Factory Sealed I won the bid for $32.00 free shipping.
have any of you played with a Thin Client?

Wow! Well done Yolo, sounds like progress at last!! Can't wait to see the changes

Keep it going Ond. I wanna see this thing finished in all it's glory!

Thanks for the interest!  Keen fellows like you keep me more motivated. I'm mindful you may be building one of these yourself at some point. 

This build needs a sticky thread   

I'd be happy to have the thread stickied, eventually, but not this early in the project 

More fine detail painting today.  To allow me to spray into various angles on these little parts I mount them up on some sticks. A dab of hot glue is easily removed later:

For this project I'm using various painting methods. The Tamiya model makers spray cans are high quality. I only need a little of each color. Spray quality is not quite as good as my gun, paint comes out a bit too heavy and fast but that's ok.  For really fine details I use my little airbrush:

These 3D printed letters have come up nicely after some sanding with 600-1200 (wet) grit and then painting:

I decided to hand paint some added light blue to these webs to control highlights and color better:

I use a combination of painters masking tape (low adhesion) and air-brushers fine tape (expensive!) to mask off items to be painted. The back box insert panel has been painted with a lighter blue around the speaker holes.  I'm taking my color cues from the original back box artwork:

Peeling away the air-brushers tape, nice clean lines!:

Once the paint that I applied today drys, I can put all the various parts I've been working on together!:

Have you tried forcing 512x400@57.349016 Hz 31kHz I'm a swirchres ini override file?

Warlords (4 spinners). 
Off the Wall (has Joystick option however).
Forgotten Worlds (RayB mentioned but to add to that, they double as "fire" so you'd need two "push/pull" or just "push" spinners).
Super Sprint and similar that control with 360 wheels.

Honestly, very few games so unless you have an absolute favorite (like Eric pointed out), it's not a necessity to have more that one spinner. 

Arkanoid Returns

The 3020 uses a proprietary power lead that is smaller than a typical DuPont connector. You can get an adapter to use a regular power button from here: https://store.harbinrepairs.com/index.php/product/dell-optiplex-390-3010-3020-front-panel-header-adapter-3pc-kit/
