Extension USB port recommendations?

What is a popular go to device when looking for USB extenders?

My laptop has three ports, which are used by audio interface, hard drive, and mouse… Based on how my setup is. I need to add more inputs for midi controllers drum machines etc. Is there a preferred brand amongst electronic music producers?

ages ago I used a Belkin and it was very reliable... if you check the internet for USB 3.0 hubs Belkin's new 7x1 hub is on many lists but Anker seems to be everyone's favorite. If you want to spend a little more look at the Elektron Overhub, its designed for soemthing called 'overbridge' so damned if I know if your laptop and peripherals can take advantage of that... but if they can its probably better than a Belkin or Anker generic hub.
