USB 3.0 HUB instead of adapter

So I am on this cable management kick and its damn near impossible to make a clean setup with cables going all different directions for all things Oculus.  And I realize that if I were to mount a USB hub under the desk I could clean a lot of that up

Right now I'm using the Inatek internal USB 3.0 powered HUB but is there a external hub that is compatible and works well with the rift?  Many of the powered USB hubs I'm finding connect via a USB to the computer in which case it seems like its splitting that one USB into four to six USB ports.  Some say the Anker USB hubs work but I would like some personal opinions

I have an Insignia USB 3.0 Adapter - I don't use it for the Rift (or at least I haven't tried to yet). When I was reading about I believe one of the requirements is that it needs to have an external power source (AC Adapter).

I use the Orico 10 port hub: https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-Aluminum-Adapter-3-3Ft-USB3-0/dp/B00CBEVTKI

Don't have any issues so long as its plugged into a compatible USB port.
