This applies pretty much for every wireless device.
A USB hub would be 50/50. If you plug in other devices into it they might cause interferences, especially USB 3.0.
So a single USB extension just for the USB receiver of your mouse / keyboard that is placed far away from other USB devices and wireless receivers is the best idea. Has so far worked 100% for me. Even if I had a WiFi access point inside the same room just about 1 - 2m away from the receiver.
Just the other day I was using a bluetooth headset with my computer. The computer has no inbuilt bluetooth receiver. I have a USB receiver for that case. I had it plugged into my front USB 3.0 port. And in the second port I had a USB 3.0 thumb drive. I was wondering why my headset would not connect or would connect but not work... until I looked at the USB ports and realized my stupid mistake with the USB 3.0 thumb drive being inserted right into a USB 3.0 port that was less than 5cm away from the USB bluetooth receiver.
