With the number of USB ports sometimes reaching 8 external, and another like 6 internal, I'm curious to know how many other people use?

I use only two, One for my Keyboard, One for my mouse. Occasionally, I use a third for a USB drive or a Camera, but I plug it into my keyboard. (G110)

So, How many do you use?

7, though typically not all at once. Webcam + FANG + G500 + card reader (rarely used) + Cowon USB plug (only used when needed) + cell phone plug (rarely used) + UPS monitoring. I had my Illuminated keyboard on the 8th port at the back before it got all ruined, too; the old one I'm using now is PS/2.

Misvoted 2. I thought you meant for general everday in and out use.

I have my mouse, my keyboard, Wacom tablet, and USB-DVI adapter permanently connected to the mobo.

Use two on the front of the case one and off for other things.

So 6.

Usually only two (keyboard and mouse), but I do plug in my 360 controller or a flash drive occasionally, so I guess three.

up to five, but usually only 2 (I use flash drives in stead of optical media so I can be using a lot at once)
