I have a 20 foot extender and have used it with game controllers before.  Never explicitly tried a VR headset but I wouldn't expect issues.

Quick question: so I have a valve index and a 6 foot usb 2.0 cable wont reach my base station. I want to know wether the signal will degrade too much for the base station to work and if it does degrade too much, how will I notice it? I am willing to buy an active extension cable, but I want to know if I have to or not. Thanks in advance!

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
