OpenVR2Key

OpenVR2Key is a cool open-source tool that makes it super easy to simulate keypresses from your SteamVR input. Seriously, the interface is simple and straightforward, so you can get things done quickly without any hassle.

Easy to Use and Set Up

This program is semi-portable, which means you can jump right in and start using it without going through a long installation process. It’s written in a C-like programming language and is only available for Windows. Plus, it doesn’t take much power from your machine, so it loads and runs really fast!

How to Configure OpenVR2Key

Getting everything set up with OpenVR2Key involves three main steps. First off, you need to open your VR system's 'Controller Options' tab. In the Manage Controller Bindings dropdown menu, look for the OpenVR2Key option. Once you find it, switch the Active Controller Binding to 'Custom'. This lets you edit the settings.

Binding Keys Made Simple

The second step is all about binding keys in the 'Controller Binding' section. Each input corresponds to certain events. To bind a key, just click on an existing event (it can be empty or filled) and choose your key. You can also set up more complex commands—like combinations of keys—if you want to avoid accidental actions. Just hit the 'Add Chords' button and enter your desired key binding.

Finalizing Your Key Mapping

The last step is where you actually map those keys inside OpenVR2Key's interface. When you're connected to your SteamVR system, check out the top-right corner of the tool in the 'Log' section; this shows that both apps are talking to each other! Now you need to match up the left row label's action with what’s mapped in VR Steam. After that, just click that big button and enter your chosen key combination.

Start Using OpenVR2Key!

Once you've got everything set up just right, it's time to start typing! Through SteamVR, OpenVR2Key will recognize your VR controller input, map it over to your keyboard, and simulate those key combinations perfectly.
