Arguably could have posted this in a number of different forums but I'll ask here since it's a mobo problem.
I have a mini ITX Gigabyte Z370N-Wifi motherboard and it has 'only' six USB ports. These are currently occupied my;
1 x Oculus rift headset
2x Corsair K70 keyboard
1x Logitech G5 mouse
1x Monitor connection (for monitor as a hub)
1x XBox Elite controller
2 x Oculus rift sensors
1x Apple cable
1x Corsair H1500 headset
1x Syder mionitor calibrator
You'll realise I ran out of ports a long way back so I'm using the monitor for the two Oculus sensors and Apple cable while the Spyder just isn't currentl;y used. The headset is plugged in at the front of the case. Ugh.
Wireless kit always needs a cable so this doesn't seem to be an answer or is it?
All this stuff used to fit on my old Z97 based board!
Can anyone suggest ideas for shifting the balance? The mobo does have an unused USB C port but don't think its a USB PD. There are few peripherals currently able to take advantage of it anyway but if I can stick a hub on that without having to add power from another source it helps to cut wires too. But does the USB-C have to be USB PD to make that work? Don't suppose I can use it for the oculus bits?
