USB Hub or Seperate USB Extension Cables? Which is Better?

[cascoh]

MY PC is a little to far from my gaming monitor and I was wondering if its better to just buy a single USB Hub and connect my Mouse, Keyboard and Headset their with some extra ports or buy separate USB extension cables. Appreciate all the support!

I've used both and really haven't noticed any lag with the hub. It'd definitely be an easier approach w/ the hub.

If you have a best buy nearby, go pick one up and see how well it does. Only reason I say best buy is because they have a really laxed return policy, so if it doesn't work out for ya just take it back and get some usb extensions.

I had the same problem and got a Hoo Too 7-port hub with 7 data ports and 2 charging ports. That way I only had to have one cable running between, and allows me to hide all the other cables. Haven't noticed any performance difference between the hub and extenders, but all the extra ports sure are nice.
