Vive Trackpad

Edit: 2019-12-30. V3 effectively strengthened the center circle for support, increasing its height from 0.3mm to 0.6mm and expanding its diameter to 3.5mm. V2's thinner design causes the micro switch press area to break out quicker, but V3 should improve performance with a higher support bump despite retaining the same thin disc. Printed and thoroughly tested. Edit: 2019-09-23: If vibration issues arise (mine stopped working after several months), refer to this link: http://www.runstenracing.se/?p=4427 Edit: 2019-09-22: V_2's center cap failed within a year, prompting the addition of a middle 'bump' to alleviate strain on the button clicks position caused by the loss of the original pad. The pad section is now 0.3mm thick (previously 0.5mm). The Vive Controller track-pad stops clicking in one or more directions - usually right. A custom-designed cap was created to fit over the area where the micro switch presses against the soft rubber pad. Replacing or repositioning the pad initially seemed effective, but the issue persisted after a few bumps and scrapes. After printing, it's likely necessary to sand down the large flat round surface where the button will press against, as its height may vary depending on the switch position. No adhesive is required - the cap simply clips into place, securing itself with the micro-switch.
