Does your motherboard handle them all okay?

@warm_gun: A lot. I have multiple USB hubs in addition to the motherboard and case USB ports. Motherboard has no issue handling all of them. Also, one of my USB hubs has individual power buttons for each port. So, I can turn off external HDDs and other devices without having to disconnect them. It is a great feature.

Two. One handles both my keyboard and mouse, the other is a controller.

Have desktop speakers, Bluetooth dongle, controller receiver, mouse receiver, keyboard, DAC for headphones, external hard drive(s) when I back up and am waiting for a microphone interface that will take the last USB on the back panel. Well, there will still be the USB 3.2 on the back, but the hubs have short cables, are for laptops.

There is always a small rectangle of white pixels before the BIOS comes up, which I'm confident is related to having so many devices, since the computer used to freeze with more of those pixels on startup before upgrading the PSU.

You have like a home server setup or something?

I've always been interested in those, but I don't really do anything to justify having one (i.e. like ripping movies or music, downloading books and graphic novels, etc.).

Still it seems really cool.

@mrbojangles25: I don't have a dedicated server, but I access my main PC from both my bedroom and living room. So, I can use wired/wireless peripherals from either room. I have several HDDs for backup and media storage. I have a large content library of movies and music on the external HDDs and all my games are on the SSDs.

I never noticed any issues with USB ports. I have mouse, keyboard, wireless mouse, bluetooth thingy for the other keyboard, those are on the back and there's headset on the front.
