Anyone know how you can see your keyboard while you are in a game on vr?

  • In headset Settings->Devices->Keyboard, toggle "show keyboard".

    It seems to work best with a bluetooth keyboard. With wired keyboards, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, unless I disconnect/reconnect the keyboard (which is a pain). The room has to be VERY well lit, and the keyboard clearly visible in front of you with no clutter or obstructions nearby to confuse the camera.

      It's a wireless keyboard that uses bluetooth or lightspeed for pc, but did not work using those settings.  Gaming with Steam vr is pretty much useless without this feature, only games I can play are basic ones that use the controllers.

        You could try VirtualDesktop if you don't have it. It also has keyboard tracking built in.
