If you're getting a hub at least buy a good branded one. The Chinese unbranded stuff sucks! I used to have one and it dropped the polling rate to 30-60Hz from the usual 125Hz. Anyway if you can avoid using the hub, AVOID IT!

Branded ones like Belkin and Anker have no problems whatsoever. It's the cheap stuff that has problems.

Imho, avoid them as much as you can for peripherals. They are pretty good if you wanna use it for something like connecting your device, etc., but that too, as suggested above, use a good brand. Also, for managing your keyboard and mouse cables, you can drill a hole and place an extended mouse pad and pass the wires through the hole, leaving some slack to give the peripherals a wireless feel. For the cables under the desk, you can use adhesive cable clips.
