Hey guys!

My bundle is on the way and I am wondering if my motherboard is good enough.
I have two usb3.0 etron ports in motherboard and ofcourse a lot of usb2.0 ports.
But it's required to have three usb3.0 ports.

So either one sensor or hmd have to be on usb 2.0

You don't want everything on USB 3.0. It should be split between 3.0 and 2.0, such as Rift and 1 sensor on USB 3.0, and the second (or third) sensor on USB 2.0.

yes this sounds reasonable. I will try both combinations.
I do have usb2 extension card with nothing plugged into it, so whatever gets usb2 port, it should be pretty "clean"
