usb-c gen 2 hub - oculus

[Death] · 25 Nov 2018 at 07:39

Been reading a few posts on reddit that suggests the oculus can run 2 sensors, rift (incl hdmi) from 1 hub in a usb c gen 2 port.

Anyone tried this on here? if so what hub do you currently use? . would be nice to have all in 1 port tbh.

many thanks

It's probably doable. The headset doesn't need much bandwidth just power. It all depends on the motherboard. If the USB C has it's own controller then no problem, if the controller also runs the USB 3 ports, then there be might be a problem if you have other devices plugged in using bandwidth.

Any suggestions on a decent hub would be appreciated, as I'm looking for one at the moment.

If it's for the Rift, as long as it's a powered USB hub and not one that draws it's power from the USB port, any decent one should be fine.
