Be careful to bind 'activate VR Mode' to a switch

I have several peripherals in my setup and when VR came out I decided to bind the VR activation and VR camera reset functions to some less often used switches in my pit. The only problem is that a switch keeps sending commands when it is in the ‘on’ state. So when entering or leaving VR I need to flip the switch on and off quickly.

Last night I was disturbed during my flight and quickly switched out of VR. After a while it became clear that I could not finish the flight and shut down the PC.

When I fired up the sim the next day it loaded with the message that there was no binding assigned for ‘VR Camera Reset’ and I was locked at this screen, mouse did not work either.
This had happened before when my peripheral wouldn’t load due to an USB error. But no, device manager showed the device was working ok. After many reboots and fiddeling with USB I finally noticed that the switch for VR activation was in the ‘on’ position. Bummer!
