The PIMAX is always on.
To turn it off to prevent the pimax logo burn in the lcd lenses I need to pull the usb plug.when not using the PIMAX.
Also the device is not listet in the NVIDIA display list and does not get found if I let NVIDIA scan for new devices.
Games on Piplay and Steam run fine, any other VR game like modded Quake to only runs on the TV but not on the PIMAX, only sound . even when launched with Piplay or Steam
Yes it is best to pull the usb cord to ensure its off. Usually if you hold pwr button long enough it will power off.
As for showing up as a display in your Nvidia control panel.
PiMax mode (aka direct mode) this is a special mode used for VR and does not show as a display.
Video mode (aka extend mode) the vr headset will appear as a normal display.
