[SOLVED] USB 2.0 VS 3.0

[xxjd2112xx]

I have read mixed messages on whether I can use things like USB wireless dongles in a 3.0 port. I have read that the 3.0 can mess with the receiving of the radio signal vs a 2.0 port. I am thinking of getting a floppy bay SUB panel that is just 2.0 ports because I have all 3.0 on my motherboard and my case has two 3.0 ports but no 2.0. I am specifically concerned about wireless devices like keyboard/mouse combo and gamepads. I am having a hard time finding just 2.0 ports. I have found some that are 2.0 and 3.0 but to use the 3.0 I would then need a splitter to tie into the case ports. Should I stick with just 2.0 ports or am I worrying about nothing.

that interference comes from usb 3 device, not from port
but at this point, devices should be properly shielded by now

So I would be fine if I had more usb 3.0 ports and plug some wireless receivers into them? I don't have to worry about radio interference.

that issue was when usb 3 was shiny new, unless u get something second hand (made around 2013) it should be fine to use
