About Desktop+

✦ AI summary

Desktop+ brings your PC desktop and windows into SteamVR, letting you access them seamlessly while in VR with customizable overlays, low latency mirroring, and context-aware profiles that adapt to different games. It stands out with powerful features like custom shortcuts, a VR keyboard, gaze-fade tracking, and performance monitoring—all with minimal system impact.

Desktop+ is a powerful, yet lightweight tool for SteamVR bringing your desktops and windows into the VR world. No matter if you just need a more reliable desktop view in your dashboard or a complex context-aware multi-overlay setup with custom shortcuts, Desktop+ offers a wide array of tweakable settings to make the overlays fit your needs.

Features



  • User interface with real-time adjustments accessible in VR or on desktop
  • Smooth, low-latency mirroring of desktops and windows
  • Low memory footprint and performance impact
  • Support for creating as many overlays as SteamVR allows at once
  • Customizable overlay settings (width, position, curvature, opacity, brightness, cropping), with switchable profiles
  • 3D support (SBS, HSBS, OU, HOU)
  • Overlay visibility and origin settings: Display a desktop/window during gameplay or attach it to a different origin (play space, seated position, dashboard, HMD, controllers, tracker, SteamVR Theater Screen)
  • Actions: User-definable functions (input simulation, running applications, overlay control) which can be bound to controller or UI buttons
  • Custom laser pointer implementation, allowing for non-blocking overlay interaction during gameplay
  • Configurable PC-style VR keyboard with various layouts and a keyboard layout editor for deeper customization, appearing automatically when detecting text input widget focus
  • Elevated access toggle, making it possible to deal with UAC prompts and other UIP-restricted UI in VR without using full admin-access at all times
  • Gaze Fade: Fade-out overlay when not looking at it
  • Window management: Change window focus depending on overlay/dashboard state or drag overlays when dragging the title bar of a mirrored window
  • Performance Monitor: View system performance in real-time
  • Application profiles: Automatically switch overlay profiles when a specific VR application is being run

Not recommended Oct 10, 2026
Used to be really great but now it just keeps popping up in my VR when I don't ask it to and don't want to either and its an extreme hassle to close the windows that pop-up, since you don't get the option to close it. Only solution was to uninstall.
Recommended Oct 4, 2026
Free, but needs a little setup before being set and forget.

I don't use the desktop much in SteamVR but if you are then Desktop+ a lot better than SteamVR's built in option, for free!

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep payingPC

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Enshrouded price after 1.0: what it costs now

Enshrouded hit 1.0 today, but the Enshrouded price rose on 8 September and the key resellers have not followed. What our nine tracked sellers show, and whether to buy now.

Starfield price history: the sub-$20 window, and who set it

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
