I'm wondering if I need three USB-C ports on my motherboard for all my peripherals (like my keyboard, mouse, and mic), or can I get away with just two and use a USB-C hub instead? Also, does using a USB-C hub affect the latency or speed for devices with high polling rates? My keyboard is set to 8k and my mouse to 2k, so I'm curious about any potential compromises in performance. I currently have a Womier SK 75 TMR keyboard and an Endgame Gear OP1 4K v2 mouse.

You can definitely use a USB-A to USB-C cable for your peripherals, so you don't need three USB-C ports if you adapt some connections. Just keep in mind that while hubs are convenient, they might introduce a bit of latency, especially for high-performance devices. It's worth experimenting to see if you notice any lag with your specific setup.
It really depends on how many USB ports your case has in the front. If you have one USB-C there, you might only need two on the motherboard. But ensure your peripherals support a hub without a significant drop in performance.
