Can't Quit on Pimax Crystal
Ok, this is going to sound pretty noobish, but how do I exit Open Brush? Using Pimax Crystal, OB seems to work well, did some scribbling to play with tools, tried many menus etc. But there is no Exit option anywhere that I can find, and my usual main Pimax VR button doesn't respond to pressing, to open its own menu to return back home - in fact neither the Pimax-logo nor the pancake-menu buttons respond. I have searched the OB HTML manual on the web; doesn't seem to be any mention of exiting the program. Is it a controller mapping/emulation issue? As near as I can tell, all other physical buttons are working, and tracking seems fine. Thanks!

Hmmmm. This sounds like a Crystal or Pimax specific thing. Usually apps don't need to have their own "exit" as you use the system functions for that. @mikesky ?
@thesuperslug - I presume this is in PC VR mode (rather than standalone)? You can always Alt+F4 on the keyboard
If PCVR - that’s on Pimax to assign their menu button correctly in whatever software, Pimax Desktop or SteamVR etc.
If Standalone - again it should be on Pimax as that would just be a system button, but unfortunately we haven’t received hardware/code from Pimax yet to test, they’ve worked on it themselves (which is great!)
Yes, it's in wired PCVR mode on Steam. Yeah, the Pimax menu buttons are both dead in Open Brush on both controllers (yes, that's usually where I go to end a game session), so maybe they need to put a little more effort into it. I'll try Alt+F4 as soon as possible and report back. By the way, I'm no artist, barely capable of making stick people, but Open Brush is pretty amazing and absolutely GORGEOUS on the Crystal. I have many glowing pretty lines and squiggles floating in front of me. But it's so pretty I'm hesitant to even delete such nonsense. Kudos to the team.
Yes, Alt-F4 did work to just kill Steam and Open Brush. Not terribly elegant, but functional - thanks! I'll consider it a temporary workaround. Have already reported this bug to Pimax Support a couple days ago and urged them to load up OB if they don't have it available already. The Crystal is absolutely a great VR experience and it's also absolutely a Pimax..... some assembly required.
Many titles do have an in-game Exit option on the menu; may I offer it as a suggestion for future versions, just in case?
