Virtual Desktop Dashboard Reviews

it is now worse than the steam build in desktop, with problem with keyboard, no curve screen and mouse problem, even the developer suggest to use build in desktop instead, what a shame

Works well for me, and crashes alot less than the built-in "Desktop" view. I like how you can move it around. Only downside is that the keyboard sometimes wants to go behind the overlay. Overall- Great.

I hate that it acts like a game, spamming your friends with a "Now Playing" notification every time you start SteamVR. which for me is a lot! (Probably an underlying issue with Valve's Dashboard system) Despite this major annoyance. it's still the only desktop dashboard that is actually usable. Valve's is just terrible with multiple monitors and mouse-clicks often not working. I haven't had the issue others are having with it not working at all.

Finally pulled the trigger on Virtual Desktop/Dashboard, mostly so that I can have my Desktop open while I play PokerStars VR. I am using WMR Samsung Odyssey + and it works almost* flawlessly. There is zero performance impact. *Almost: - The controls/keyboard do not work inside a Citrix Desktop window. I can point and items will highlight but you cannot actually click on anything. Not a deal breaker for me but sucks I can't work while the dashboard is up. Hope the devs take note of this and fix this is a future update for the IT pro's in the crowd. - The keyboard is a bit wonky. Many times when I open the keyboard after placing the cursor in the url box for example and try to hit the backspace key on the keyboard, it just closes the keyboard instead. - I have to make sure that one controller is pointed way off the screen in a different direction in order to use the keyboard (one handed) otherwise the littler blue light just moves around the keyboard and I cant click any keys. Other than a few minor annoyances, it has been worth the $. Definitely recommend if you want to watch youtube, movies, etc. while playing non action games like Poker. :-)

The virtual dashboard is the coolest thing ever! I'm literally playing a game within a game or browsing the web. I sometimes struggle to get the mouse working (stuck in spot) but after switching back and forth a bit- it's possible to get it unstuck. I've been starting it up AFTER I start my games (takes a short wait for it to appear) but everything is working fine as of 11/28/2018. The problem is the lack of inital guidance which had me asking "Is this even working?" at the start. The answer is yes- it works; but I still haven't put enough time into it yet to confirm it to not work. If it does stop working for me then you'll see me return with an updated/edited review pretty quickly. Quick start: Once in-game; You simply click the new Virtual Desktop button that appears- and use your grab button (WMR) at the top of the window and drag it up a bit. Pop! It's now in your VR game world.

Super unreliable and the lack of a VR keyboard makes it subpar compared to other apps.

Doesn't work .. can't get it to start using HP Reverb & Steam VR. Click the button it says it's running, nothing appears in VR.

hardly ever works, just says running but wont start up, been dealing with this for a long time now

this application is hit or miss. sometimes i can use it. sometimes i cant. i keep it though since its amazing when it does work. and there really isnt any way to troubleshoot it. or at least i never et anywere when i try

Being unable to scale makes this practically worthless as a gaming tool. It's just your full desktop giant on screen. You can move it around but being unable to scale down, say, a discord window, brings this to questionable use. No update from the developer on this for over 7 months
