So what actually causes all the jitters, jams, and fundamental frustrations when you're using USB 3.0 for your 2.4GHz peripheral? Well, there's a core engineering conflict here. USB 3.0 achieves its high throughput by employing a 5Gbps differential signaling clock rate. Because of the way data packets are scrambled and transmitted, the harmonic frequencies of that electronic data transfer radiate broad-spectrum noise right between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz. This is the exact wireless real estate used by Bluetooth, a standard Wi-Fi bands, Zigbee, and pretty much every single proprietary 2.4 GHz low-lat
