I ignored my monitor's USB hub for too long, but it's perfect for one vastly underrated thing

Monitor USB hubs are often overlooked, but they serve two practical purposes beyond simple port expansion: reducing cable clutter by routing peripheral cables through the monitor stand, and improving wireless reliability by physically separating USB dongles from the PC's rear I/O and front panel circuitry. Moving wireless keyboard, mouse, and headset dongles to the monitor's USB hub can eliminate missed keystrokes and cursor lag caused by RF interference between closely packed dongles. While monitor USB ports aren't suitable for high-bandwidth devices like external SSDs or webcams, they're perfectly adequate for keyboards, mice, headsets, and controllers, freeing up faster motherboard ports for devices that actually need the bandwidth.
