Use Joystick as handbrake?

Yes works quite well although I would like some more resistance.

Just ordered my 3rd sensor, think a few of the games I plan on playing are room scale. Have they added in support for a 4th sensor?

I use 4 sensors without any issues.

Any recommendation's for a powered usb hub?,all of my usb ports are used,and had to plug my keyboard into a front port as the usb on the Y section of cable is very short,so need recommendation on a single usb extender cable too,thank's all.

I use a "UGREEN 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with 1m Cable" from the rain forest works great for 1 sensor and HS for me having 2 sensors in seemed to cause issues.
Has a optional (not included) power input that I dont use.

Finally got my rift today and ran into a small problem. My gpu has 3 display ports and only 1 hdmi.

So I need a DP to hdmi adaptor. My TV is 4k so will I have any problems with this?

Also can I get sound to come out of the TV as well as the rift? So people watching can hear what I'm hearing

-I use, 'CSL - 4K Ultra HD Displayport to HDMI adapter with audio transmission'

for my Rift. £8.99.

-Nah

Open Oculus Home

click the Gear icon in the top right

Select Settings

Choose the picture of the headset labelled Rift

For "Audio Output in VR," select Both (audio mirroring)

then

Back in Windows, left click the volume icon in your system tray (bottom right corner of your screen)

Change the output device from the Rift headphones to your speakers.

Sorry just to check - you run the rift on that displayport to hdmi adaptor or you run your 4k screen on that and the rift to the native hdmi?

I'm currently using a Ugreen displayport to hdmi adaptor for my 4k TV but it's rubbish - screen comes on with green fuzz for about a minute until it then vanishes and when the display sleeps sometimes the only way to get image back is to unplug and replug the connector. I tried it on my rift rather than the 4k tv and the experience was awful with picture cutting in and out etc.

on my 1080:
HDMI -> living room AVAMP -> OLED 4K
DP -> Rift via dongle
DP -> Dell monitor

I've do above setting (it's slightly different to do it now but found it anyway) I can only get sound out of either the rift or the TV. Not both.

Any ideas ?

Do you guys run a dedicated gaming rig for your VR stuff and a different rig for pancake?

Nope, one rig for both. I was considering a second rig for the living room to play vr games but sanity and my wallet told me no.

I have a small cinema room which sadly I don't think will house a VR setup for room scale without me smashing my 65 inch TV whilst playing...
