📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
DO NOT SEEK SUPPORT FROM VIRTURAL DESKTOP
FOR ISSUES WHEN USING OC UNLEASHED!!
They don't have the ability to properly diagnose issues using OC, it is not the way their support structure was set up.
Any and all bugs or issues must come to me here on this Nexus or you must solve them in your communities. Check the OCUnleashed.log in your SKSE folder
OPENCOMPOSITE UNLEASHED!!!
for Skyrim VR
Works with SteamVR Headsets | VR Keyboard Anywhere | Controller Combos | Full Rebinding | Integrated Graphics Performance
~ What Is This? ~
Open Composite Unleashed is a modified build of the open-source OpenComposite project that replaces SteamVR with a direct OpenXR connection to your headset. Lower latency, better performance, no middleman.
But the real game-changer is what it adds on top: a fully functional VR keyboard you can pull up anywhere in Skyrim VR
console commands, enchanting, search fields, MCM menus, you name it. That single feature opens the door to hundreds of mods that were previously unusable in VR because they required text input Skyrim VR never provided.

DLSS4 & FSR3 OTHER GRAPHICS ENHANCEMENTS
NOW EASY TO GET WORKING WITH STEAM VR HEADSETS.
Integrated Graphics and Performance Tools
-
[]OCU includes a configurable rendering suite:[/]
[] NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA[/]
[]AMD FidelityFX FSR 3 temporal upscaling and Native AA[/]
[]CAS sharpening[/]
[]BlueSkyDefender post-process antialiasing[/]
[]Automatic or custom texture MIP-bias correction[/]
[]Eye-tracked and fixed Variable Rate Shading[/]
[] Depth-Assisted Positional Approximation (DAPA) [/]
[]DLSS and FSR 3 are mutually exclusive. [/]
Eye-Tracked and Fixed VRS for meta headsets
-
[]OCU provides two independent VRS modes:[/]
[]Eye Tracking AUTO: uses live OpenXR gaze data when the headset and active runtime expose it.[/]
[]Fixed VRS: uses a head-centered pattern for headsets without eye tracking or as an explicitly enabled fallback.[/]
[]Eye Tracking AUTO does not silently enable fixed foveation when gaze data is unavailable.[/]
[]Both modes include presets and adjustable full-rate and peripheral radii. Compatibility mode limits coarse shading to help reduce Skyrim terrain, foliage, and texture-mip artifacts. [/]
DAPA means Depth-Assisted Positional Approximation.
It generates synthetic frames using cached color, Skyrim depth, and headset movement. It is not conventional ASW because it does not use complete per-pixel motion vectors or have a headset side requirement.
DAPA should not be combined with ASW, SSW, or another runtime reprojection system.
VR Keyboard
-
[]Full keyboard overlay pull it up anytime with a button combo (default: double-tap left stick)[/]
[]Works with Scaleform UI: console, enchanting, naming, SkyUI search, MCM text fields EVERYTHING![/]
[]Laser pointer typing with sound feedback, haptics, and visual hover effects[/]
[]DONE button or grip to confirm keyboard knows the difference between menus and free typing.[/]
OCU Keyboard Studio
- []OCU includes a separate visual keyboard-design application.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 122 endorsements and over 12,000 downloads.
- The VR keyboard is a game-changer—unlocks text input for hundreds of mods that were previously unusable in VR.
- Direct OpenXR connection cuts out the middleman, giving you lower latency and better performance.
- Active development—last updated August 2026, so it's being maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- No support from Virtual Desktop—you're on your own if issues arise, and you must troubleshoot via the OCUnleashed.log.
- Requires SKSE and a specific setup, so it's not a plug-and-play mod for casual users.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that rely on SteamVR or modify input systems.
For Skyrim VR players who want better performance and hate the SteamVR overhead. Also for modders who've been blocked by text input limitations—this keyboard opens up a whole new world. Skip if you're happy with SteamVR and don't need text input.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the OCUnleashed.log in your SKSE folder if you run into issues—it's your first stop for troubleshooting.
- Don't contact Virtual Desktop support for problems with this mod; they can't help with OpenComposite issues.
- Use the default double-tap left stick to pull up the keyboard, and remember the DONE button or grip to confirm input.
