I would like to know if I can plug headset keyboard mouse and usb 3 into the usb port of this mobo? http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z97-GAMING-7.html#hero-ov...

Will it work good?

My keyboard requires 2 USB 2.0 (STEELSERIES APEX)
My mouse requires 1 USB 2.0 (STEELSERIES WOW LEGENDARY MMO MOUSE)
My headset requires 1 USB 2.0 (STEELSERIES SIBERIA V2 HEAT)
My camera requires 1 USB 2.0 (Logitech something)

I wanna plug the headset to the keyboard plugs and keep 1 spot for a USB flash drive.
Which means I have 2 USB 2.0 devices that I can't plug to the rear (because of lack of USB 2.0 ports)
So is it ok to plug them to USB 3.0 ports in this mobo?

USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with all previous USB devices. USB 2.0 is backward compatible too.
