Today I have a Z87X-UD5H-CF and am moving to a Aorus Ultra.
After I got my Oculus VR I was in trouble, it requires 3 USB 3.0 ports, they can't be on the same pair, and was having Win7 messages saying I had too many devices connected.
I had to buy a Orico USB board, but now it crashes Win10 just after boot, before I have the chance to install its driver, and Orico just vanished it from its portal.
Did Intel get better on amount of USB devices its chip can handle?

I am researching this for my father. He wants a Rift S and I am waiting on his 9900K and case to complete his build.
We decided on a Rift S over the Quest because if its improved performance. We are paring it with a RTX2070.
The X87 chipset didn't have robust USB support. People had some difficulties with reliable performance. I feel the Z390 is greatly improved. Get yourself off Windows 7 and go with the Ultra. Its a nice board. I have the Pro and have been pleased.

If u find any info about it, could u share plz?
Where did u read that Z87 is so bad on USB 3.0 controllers?
I just remembered that my Aorus Ultra also has 4 USB 2.0 on its front panel. On my Z87 I only have 4 ports from internal connectors and use 3 of them.
IDK if USB 2.0 controllers share the count limit with 3.0 controllers, but now I'll be able to use at least 6 USB 2.0 ports. And I'm also buying a USB 3.1 plate to use the new internal connector. I also don't know if 3.1 and 3.0 connectors share it.
At least I won't be wasting any internal connector.
I'm also buying a new 3GIO x1 USB board, it has 4 TypeA external connectors, 1 TypeC external connector, + 1 USB 3.0 internal connector which I'll be able to use. I hope it works, it's from some odd company named BTBcoin which I can't find on the web.
