I am planning to buy the Corsair Void RGB Elite USB but I've been wondering if it would be a problem to plug a USB headset into the USB 2.0 passthrough on my Corsair K95 RGB Platinum or a USB extension cable. I read that sometimes plugging it into the USB passthrough on the keyboard can cause some problems. So is it the same with the USB 2.0 extension cables or should I plug it into my front panel USB 3.0?
 
Solution
The passthrough for all intents and purposes is no different than an extension cable. There may be some issues if the headset is on the higher power consumption end of the spectrum, but I doubt this is going to be the case.
