Yeah. I also looked at one other thing I knew existed that you might like -- furniture grommets with USB ports. That's even more slick if you don't mind drilling your desk
Unfortunately, those cost more than a typical home office desk on average.
I'm with you in that I trust connecting directly to the motherboard ports more than any hub, but in this case probably would just get a hub. The tiny one I bought ~4 years ago has worked very well, although I avoid using it for external hard drives (no specific reason, just not taking chances with my data).
