i have a wide space table and two computers with two monitors what do you use to increase  the length?

is there any effects or lag if you use a usb 3.0 or 3.1 extenders as i game and do streaming?

 

what the best usb extender you use for long space to move your cables for faraway spaces?

For USB 3.0/3.1 your max length would be 3M ~9.8ft so your going to need a powered or active repeater for the USB cable if it's longer than that. They shouldn't affect the speed or have any real appreciable input lag. If your planning on going a really long distance there are fiber optic based USB cable but those cost a lot more.

How far is the cable run exactly? Here are two that are around 5M or so that use an active repeater. Some will also have an addition power input for high power draw devices.
