Pimax 8K Series

Title. Do someone have such thing? Piserivce launcher usually cause issues with mouse so better have it start only when needed.

@DrWilken doc, didn’t you have a cure for this?

The cure is to get a better USB controller. Either a hub or a PCI-E extension card. Most motherboard implementations are junk.

I have some hints for the bat file… :wink:

Inateck cards are said to be good (and are/were suggested by Oculus too).

I’m using this one:

set pieserviceLauncher to manual start

then you can start it with the following

sc start PiserviceLauncher

make it a .bat file and run with administrator privileges

This will start and stop pimax services:

echo off
set ServiceName=PiServiceLauncher
set ProcessName=PiService.exe
tasklist /fi “imagename eq %ProcessName%” |find /v “:” > nul&&(
sc query “%ServiceName%”|find “STATE”|find /v “RUNNING”>nul&&(
sc start %ServiceName%
timeout 10
)
sc stop %ServiceName%
) || (
sc start %ServiceName%
)

Just add the PiTool command from the PiTool shortcut in the bottom.

A simple google search and you’ll find.

Fun fact: you don’t need Pitool to use a Pimax HMD. If you’re fine with the default settings (it remembers whatever you saved last time), you can just launch SteamVR and play.

The PiserviceLauncher is what needs to run.

Yep Pitool is only a front end for piservice.

Sounds like though maybe an Amd gpu mix for mouse jitters
