UGREEN USB Hub (3ft cable)

USB-A to Micro USB B (6in/15cm)

USB hub goes to the frunk port. Cable sleeved under shirt. USB hub strapped to the belt for the hip tracker right next to hip tracker (I did it with a velcro strap). 6in/15cm cable from hub to hip tracker. Both 3ft/.9m cables going from hub to each foot tracker sleeved under the pants. Relevant leg reveal: https://i.imgur.com/duMn6kA.jpg (USB hub was not plugged in)

Each charger in the picture has an orange light, which means they're charging. At the time of taking the picture they were at about 75% charge and after checking in 20 minutes later they were fully charged (white light). Tested my setup in VR, works flawlessly. Feeling of cables being there is minimal, maybe because my hairy legs keep the cables from touching my skin. Laying down is as comfortable as usually is with full-body. No additional weight can be felt.

Conclusion: A cheaper and in my opinion more comfortable solution than charging your trackers with a powerbank. Lets you be more active as well (don't have to worry about the powerbank falling out of your pocket and don't feel its weight anymore). Playing with full-body for as long as you want is now possible (that is, until your controllers die :P).

UPDATE: I had a 4 1/2 hour session with this setup tonight and my trackers never dropped below 100% charge. BIG downside to this though... and that is when you need to go to the bathroom. You gotta unplug the hub from the frunk then unplug the feet trackers then take off the belt before you can use the toilet, I take the feet trackers and the cables for them with me and the belt and hub I leave in my room. It's still worth it though!

Printing is perfect for this kind of small diy project. I used this usb hub https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Compact-Microsoft-Ultrabooks-etc-Black/dp/B00OQ0CYFE/ref=sr_1_14?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1521765982&sr=1-14&keywords=usb+hub and a regular PC power switch soldered to some 2m long wire that runs under my desk to my PC power port on the motherboard. I then designed the printed part to easily slot these things in and with a little sanding (and an oil rub) it was done. I might make a 2nd version with an sd card slot and audio out but it seems like there's tons of possibilities.

And if you want to make it powered you can buy a detachable dc power cord that is optional

I gotta know too. It’s a great looking USB hub and super functional too.

I bought this and using it to connect USB mouse and keyboard for gaming and works perfect.

Thank you for the help, could you check if this will work?

Also, I have seen this other cable, could this work?

So, the 3.0A goes to the Raspberry Pi, the 2.0 to the power supply, and the 3.0 head goes to the HDD. I'm not sure if this will do the trick :S
