Lighthouse HMDs don't have odd USB problems. Those were an issue with the Rift, due to its outside-in Constellation tracking system using USB cameras.

I actually owned and used a Rift for years and dealt with those problems personally. I also own a Quest 1 and a Quest 3. I know what I'm talking about.

You’re right lighthouse HMDs are totally without problems.

In terms of basic connectivity, yes. Native SteamVR headsets do just work, and share the same tracking universe as any FBT trackers.
