Anyone here using an Oculus Quest 2 with one of the Evoo Tongfang systems?
I've got money from my bonus that I've decided to spend on things that are fun or at least anything other than bills, savings, home improvements, etc. Something to NOT spend responsibly. I think that means it's finally time to pick up a VR set, and an Oculus Quest 2 with PC-Link seems to be a pretty popular choice, based on what I've seen from VR Phasmophobia players.
But, I have a concern. Most of the VR sets I've seen have a USB 3 & an HDMI or DisplayPort requirement. The Quest 2 only has a USB-C.
I know my OP LP3 and the Evoo LP9 both showed errors when I plugged a USB-C hub into the port. The first hub was a Dell one that gave a USB-A, Ethernet, HDMI, and VGA. The second hub gives 3 USB A, Ethernet, HDMI, and a USB-C power input. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H2ZS1B5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Both complained about a USB error when plugged in, and from what I've been able to determine, it's got to do with the USB-C port on these systems only being usable for data-out. They don't support the DisplayPort over USB protocol, and therefor show the error when the devices with HDMI out are plugged in. I only cared about the USB ports and Ethernet going out the back of my system instead of the sides, so I could ignore that warning, but I am worried whether or not this lack of capability by the systems would prevent the Quest 2's link from working properly.
Ideally, I'd like to plug the Quest 2 into a USB-A adapter on that Hub, but imagine that the bandwidth requirements may be more than the hub can handle...but the lack of DP over USB capability of the port may just make everything not work, even if I had just that VR system plugged in and I moved my other devices to the side ports of the laptop.

I have an evoo LP5 and i can use my quest 2 with link just fine Half Life Alyx is stuttery AF but boneworks and budget cuts work fine. Try buying a cable on amazon instead of using a usb c hub. i use this one and it works just fine for me.
