    i like that new case , ,It would be nice if i could buy just the back with the fan for my older model ,I was going to put my pi4 in that case ,but decided not to because it wouldn't be using the hdmi,eventually i want to play around with duel screens ..that is when i get back into a Pi mood!

    I know one thing I will be getting this Christmas, SmartiPi Touch 2
    And a new 7 inch touch display, Pi 4B, Pi 4 power supply etc. If Pimoroni sells it I'll buy it all there. They sell the old version so hopefully they get the new one in stock when its available. I'd rather not have to make two orders from two different retailers and pay shipping twice. The new one has a cooling fan which you'll need with a Pi 4.

    I "think" you can do dual display with one of them being on DSI? I'm going to try it at some point.

    it's showing on both screens but its not working right ,when i use the touch on the 7 inch nothing happens on the 7 inch,it all happens on the hdmi screen ,the icons dont open the app associated to them,the usb keyboard plugged into pi 4's hdmi 1 it only shows on the 7 inch ,plugged into hdmi-0, it shows on both but the 7inch is acting like a touch pad ,background picture and icon show on the 7inch but do nothing when touched ,,i had to unplug the hdmi to get my usb keyboard touch pad to work on the 7 inch lcd to be able to shutdown the pi ...it could be something to do with Blaster on the pi4 seeing the 7 inch as a touchpad or something like that ..I'm not sure whats going on,,

    edit just hooked the pi4 to 2 large hdmi lcd's and realized i didn't moved my mouse correctly to go off the main screen over to the other lcd..,i'll have to hook them back up to check for sure but i think thats what i did..but that dosn't count for it thinking the 7inch was a touch pad, lol

    Just to clarify thats on a Pi 4. It can do dual displays easily in Buster. And I'm pretty sure one of the two can be on the DSI connector.

    EDIT: Never mind, I didn't see your second post when I hastily replied.

    It likely assumes HDMI 0 is on the left? Assuming Right way up is with the ports towards you?

    it works as expected, first try i forgot to move the mouse off the edge into the other display ,but it still seen the touch screen as a mouse when i used my finger on the touch screen it moved around on the other screen,but wouldn't work a finger double click ,i had to used my pi4's keyboard touch pad to open things ,,,anyway my mind is going in circles lol

    I've had trouble with double click on the touchpad of my K400 keyboard. It seems to depend on what your trying to double click? I can navigate to a folder no problem but cannot open a text document without right clicking it? Double click does nothing no matter how fast or how slow I do it. On a PC it works as advertised, on a Pi in Raspbian, not so much.

    Hey Jack just a FYI post. If and when you get your Fan Shim, if you don't install any software the fan will run anyway. It will just run continuous as long as the Pi has power. The LED won't work but the button will. The button will do the shutdown and boot up. You need to do the config.txt edit for shutdown to work. Add the following line to it.
    dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
