The requirements have always been upfront, but the reasons behind them maybe not widely publicized. In any case, people can find their answers on the forum, or through customer support if they are interested in the reasons why (otherwise they can just follow the clear setup instructions and trust they are true).
To be honest, in practice I don't believe there is a noticeable difference between using the sensors on USB 3.0 or USB 2.0. From what I was told, there is a benefit from USB 3.0 but honestly USB 2.0 works fine and in my experience the difference in quality is that great or even noticeable at all.
The requirements are that only 2 sensors can be on USB 3.0, while the others be on USB 2.0. It doesn't matter which ones are which. So you can have your two front sensors on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and then have the back senor (3rd sensor) on USB 3.0 if you want. That's fine.

It was bad enough that Oculus went with USB for the sensors,
Do you have a suggestion for something else they should have used?

active usb..... sorry for dumb Q but does that mean i have to plug it in to mains power it? if so that is a pain!.
Whilst i have been happy with the tracking from constellation setup, with all these quirks I cant help but feel the lighthouse system is a much simpler to use set up. the amount of cables coming from my pc is such a mess imo. (just an opinion not stating as fact based on observations before the usual suspect accuses me of lying or some such)

@elboffor, are you sure? I'd read it was a passive 15ft USB 2 cable, and 5 metres would be fine for passive.
Well either way, cyber's confirmed it's a bandwidth issue that's the reason for USB 2.
This is the actual cable (very cheap looking i must admit)

Hollywood, do you actually have an issue? I plugged my third sensor into a spare USB port and everything Just Worked. Happened to be USB3, but I've tried it in a USB2 as well, continued to Just Work.

If a customer has to take the extra step of going onto another medium (the internet forums which are not classed as on official source for product information) to find further details to make their product work, then that's a marketing and business model failure.
