Here’s an interesting workaround for the problem:
After enabling the mirror window at whichever size you want, do OK & SAVE in VorpX. This is assuming you’re in Windowed mode (not full windowed)

This trick will hide the contents of your mirror window as we will drag it off screen, but any recording software running will be able to record.

1) Start your capture.
2) Drag the game’s window (Not the mirror window; not yet) down about halfway on your screen.
3) Now we can click on the title bar of the mirror window, and drag it as low as we can, with the title bar matching up with the window taskbar (or lower)
4) Now drag the main game’s window back all the way up and line it up with your screen.
5) Click in the middle of the game’s window. You should be good to go.

While you play, the mirror window we mostly dragged off screen is letting your capture software get the image. Meanwhile your mouse is back. I didn’t test with with Borderlands 2, but the trick worked for Randy Pitchfork’s Colon Marines.

Yup, with most games I have to start my video capture, then move the mirror window out of view in order to be able to click on the game window and regain control of my in-game mouse (buttons).

The major problem here is that often, the mirror window refuses to be moved. This completely silences the ability to click mouse buttons. This is the case with Borderlands 2, Alien Colonial Marines (hey I wanted to have a laugh) and some others I forget of right now.

For those who like to stream/record the full Oculus view, it would be a good fix to have.
