Oculus Rift USBs

[Rowan88]

Hi.

Building a pc for my friend but he mentioned his oculus rift needs 2x usb3 and 1x usb2.

Rather than hogging up all the motherboard slots would this work for it? I read a few things saying some dont work for it.

It needs one USB 3 for the headset and the two sensors can use either USB 2 or 3.

That card may work, but it might be best to stick with the recommended ones https://www.oculus.com/blog/oculus-roomscale-extra-equipment/
Peronally, I didn't get on that well with the cheap Inateck card (other people do) and ended up with the pricy 4 controller Startech card.

YMMV
