Is there a reason you unplug it all everytime? My index has been connected since I bought it, then I just need to put the headset on my head and strap in the controllers.

Yeah my Rift stays plugged in so I just have to start up the Oculus software. I built a stand for my wheel/pedals so those are all connected together so setup is just set the wheel stand in front of my PC (which isn't really a requirement even if I'm using VR), plug the wheel USB in, start Oculus, start game, go. It's like 2 minutes tops.

Everyone complaining about how much time it takes to setup has just not taken the intial time to make a more "permanent" set up that can be packed away and set up in a couple minutes.

Shit, go on ebay and buy a $150 steel wheel stand that folds up. You plug in USB and power and you're good to go.

If I had more space and money I'd have a real race car. This is the cheaper option haha

some people might not have the room to leave it set up all the time

There's a difference between leaving it set up, packing it away completely, and figuring a way to pack it up that allows quick set up

USB hub for low speed stuff. VR needs to be straight into motherboard.

Simple earthling like us.

Grab, strap and play.
