✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective: one press and you're punching, no menu diving.
- Controller support is a nice touch for gamepad players.
- Decent community trust with 164 endorsements and 19k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only does one thing—if you want more combat options, this isn't it.
- Requires SKSE, so it's not for purists who avoid script extenders.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that rebind the same key or button.
For Skyrim players who frequently switch between weapons and fists and want a quick toggle without hotkey hassle. Also great for unarmed builds that rely on quick access. Skip if you don't use SKSE or prefer more comprehensive combat overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and you launch the game through SKSE's loader, or the mod won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other mods.
- Test the toggle in a safe area first to ensure it doesn't conflict with your other hotkey mods.
