I'm not on a budget, and I think Rift-S is good enough. 🙂

Based on hundreds of hours of VR - if I wanted to use the keyboard, I'd take my headset off - it is occasionally necessary, but I try to keep it to a minimum. I'm not aware of a virtual keyboard function, though - are you thinking of FlyInside, rather than native VR? 

Both Oculus and WMR allow you to bring windows inside VR with very little overhead. I then use the W10 keyboard "%windir%\system32\osk.exe" not the keyboard you see in the taskbar. The osk.exe version is much better. With osk.exe you can do anything you can do with a real keyboard. I also use Rewasd (great app) and an xbox controller for extra functions.

With the right yoke/throttle/switch or HOTAS setup you should be able to keybindnthe switches to just about anything you need...

and I will second the suggestion for Voice Attack. You can make it do prettty much anything you ever want via voice commands. Extremely helpful for DCS in VR where even with a nice hotas like a warthog or an x56 you can quickly run out of keybinds. For example I have With the F-14 I have a voice attack set for “Goose shuttle” and “Goose salute” to hook up to the cat shuttle and to actually salute and fire the cat. It’s little things that make it to where you really don’t need a keyboard while flying.

How do you get voice attack not to listen to you while you interact with ATC by voice? Do you use the PTT button to mute voice attack?

Yes, that’s absolutely what i do. Very easy to set up.

That, or in my case I always have phrases instead of single words. At no time is ATC going to tell me something and I would say Gear Down or Flaps Down back to atc in 99.9% of scenarios. The program listens for what you tell it to listen to before it executes an action.
