How many USB ports do you use ? ( 7 years later )

Oh boy, ok.
Uhm on the desktop:

• CMStorm Trigger Keyboard w/onboard USB hub
  • Sharkoon FireGlider Optical mouse

• Generic USB3->eSATA adapter (for eSATA RAID encosure that the Intel eSATA port repeatedly drops the connection to *Roll Eyes )

• External USB Hub with individually switched ports populated by:
  • Xbox 360 Wireless receiver
  • Transciever for wireless corsair headset I never use
  • TM Warthog stick
  • TM Warthog throttle
  • CH Products rudder pedals
  • Sometimes a USB flash drive for booting to whatever

• Aune T1
• Oculus Rift DK2
• DK2 Tracker
• Cyberpower UPS

• USB A > USB mini B cable
• USB A > USB micro B cable

On the laptop

• Fiio E17
• X360 Wireless receiver (sometimes)

So I guess I'm using 18 USB devices, with the game controllers and universal cables only connected (by toggling the switched USB hub ports) to pc (and device, respectively) when needed. 9 USB ports on the desktop populated, one or two on the laptop as required; sometimes a third for USB drive for whatever. I do all my file transfers and ROM flashing over wifi and charge my phone from the wall so it doesn't count. I use a pair of modded ATH-m50 with V-Moda boompro mic connected to the onboard frontpanel audio for gaming instead of the shit-tier corsair wireless usb headset, yet still always have it plugged in but switched off for some reason. Normally I'd have my audio routed over HDMI but renovations and no room for my AVR & speakers.
