yes, its true that usb cant extend that long with just a cable, also, the 
maximum length is _very_ dependant on the connected device. here i have a 5 
meter cable, no problems. also, usb hubs are really cheap.... but for sure, 
adding hubs adds latency as well .....

thats right. im just curious about the latency i can get, but we will see....
