I have one of these USB extension hubs, made by Belkin. It won't recognize my keyboard or mouse, but recognizes every other device I've plugged into it, such as a floppy drive, thumb drives, cameras, and hard drives. So mine works for me.
You may need to try a few other devices, such as the ones I mentioned. I suspect some of these extensions don't recognize stuff needed by the boot up routine, but will recognize stuff initialized or added after boot up. Boot up critical stuff, such as your monitor, plug straight into the computer, but the other stuff can plug into the hub. Whether this meets your desires is another issue.
