I have quite a few desktop peripherals now. Steering wheel, hotas (stick and throttle), xbox controller.

All of these devices have the cable built in at the device side, with a USB-A on the other.

Instead of fumbling round the back of the PC every time I want to connect/disconnect them, can I have a desktop mounted USB hub on my desk, and I plug into this whatever peripheral(s) I want to use, either several at once or just one?

Don't see why not. Does your monitor have an inbuilt USB hub?
No it doesn't.

I only need probably 4 ports. The most I'll ever plug into it at one go is the hotas which takes 2 ports. It might be useful to have a couple of USB-A and a USB-C on it though for phone.

Would there be interference having multiple devices plugged in at the same time?
