In what type of usb should these devices be connected?

Οκ,then I guess I will connect the 4 fans and the keyboard to the usb 3.0 since they consume the most power and the mouse and headshet to the usb 2.0.Thanks for everyone who contributed :)

Hello.I know a lot of stuff about hardware,but when it comes to connectivity for both monitors and peripherals I don't know how things work.So my laptop has 2 usb 3.0 and 2 usb 2.0 and my devices are the following:

-Motospeed CK104 mechanical backlit keyboard with outemu red switches.

-Motospeed V30 gaming mouse with rgb lighting(500hz polling rate/1000 dpi).

-Deepcool MultiCore X6(a notebook base with dual 140mm@1000 rpm and dual 100mm fans@1300 rpm)

-Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 USB

If I had to choose which device is most important to the most least,I'd go for the headset,followed by the mouse,then the notebook cooler and finally the keyboard,but that doesn't mean I would want to lose any features of my peripherals if possible.Thanks in advance.

NONE of those things "need" USB3.0 2.0 is enough for all of those, 3.0 is more for external drives and stuff like that.

Since they are just peripherals, it actually has no difference whether you connected it to USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, because the USB revision is all about data transfer bandwidth, not power. The Wattage is about the same between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0

They are all just peripherals that don't require the high bandwidth of 3.0. Plugging all of those into any (2.0 or 3.0) port won't have any difference.

False. USB 2.0 spec calls for a maximum power draw of 500mA, USB 3.0 spec calls for 900mA. Both at 5v.

 

And then there are charge port variants that supplement 3.0 and up, and the port is rated for up to 5A draw.

They also don't require the power draw that 3.0 can support.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

USB BC (battery charging) actually only allows a Charging Downstream Port (i.e. a usb hub or a host like a laptop supporting BC) to deliver up to 1.5A or 7.5W to a device configured to support it.

 

Power Delivery and 15W charging *only* apply to USB type-C devices (meaning at least USB 3.1gen1)

 

Qualcomm Quick Charge (up to 3A at up to 20V, 18W max) and Apple charging (2.4A at 5V) are both incompatible with data ports, and are questionably compliant with the USB spec (QQC is strait non-compliant if on USB-C).

Doesn't matter to all. You could have all of them from single USB2 with dongle. Though personal preference would be having priority devices (mouse, keyboard and headset) with direct connect.
