Completely agree!

I often find myself playing with Vive thinking ....... "Damn that USB latency is ruining my experience!"

No wait ...... Works flawlessly

It's the time zone difference GMT +11

Edit - so basically they're run off a separate chipset? I'll have to make sure I'm wearing my VR optimized kicks. I'd hate to ruin the immersion by playing in thongs. (Flipflops for non Australians)

I hate to disagree with everyone but it actually seems pretty useful to me. The Rift+Cameras use a crapload of USB3 ports, and there are only specific compatible host controllers etc (Fresco Logic FL1100EX recommended).

Oculus put up a series of blogposts:
https://www.oculus.com/blog/oculus-roomscale-extra-equipment/
about using multiple cameras for roomscale VR and how important balancing multiple USB host controllers is. Having more of these built into the mobo rather than shelling out for a PCI-e expansion card would be great, as it's been something a lot of manufacturers have been able to get away with skimping on.
