Hey guys, I'm moving my case to a wall where some USB devices won't reach.

So my plan is to buy a USB hub that connects to the PC and have all my devices (Mouse, Keyboard, Keypad, Mic etc etc) plugged into it.

As I play some competitive games, would this cause any sort of lag, or noticeable lag at all?

 

Thanks

 

An example of what I'm thinking -

I have an oculus rift that requires active usb extensions for the sensors and I haven't had any issues with it in the time I used it. This is what I used and given the latency dependence of VR I'd say they worked rather well.  Granted I only used this setup for a short time, I'd say that something far less sensitive wouldn't be a problem over the long term.  All of the devices you listed do not require high bandwidth which I would imagine is one of the biggest concerns.

 

*edit: (everyone should know to look at links before they click them, bottom left corner of browser.  microsoft.scam.com is from scam.com microsoft.com is microsoft)

Audio go Brrrrrr
