Kensington weighted DomeHub keeps stationary, stays neat
While almost any USB hub helps you manage your messy workspace by giving you a central unit to plug all of your USB cables into, they are often so light that they swing all over the place. The 7-port DomeHub by Kensington is the perfect remedy for the wild hub — it's weighted down, like a paperweight, so it'll keep your cords from getting crazy. It has seven LEDs on the front of it that correspond to its ports on the back, lighting up to let you know something's plugged in, and it has a very cool, almost-alien-saucerish look to it.
The DomeHub sells for $50, though you can find it for less depending on where you shop.

Where are the 7 LEDs located? I can't figure it out.
On the specification list of the product at the Kensington website (and on Amazon too) it doesn't mention anything about LEDs either...

MrT the lights are the little rectangular pips on the lower part of the dome (as seen in the picture) the one LED above the line of six is for the USB jack at the top of the dome which is handy for plugging in a USB Thumb Drive or the included Flylight. I have this hub and really like it, plus it comes with not just the FlyLight but a power adaptor so that you can beef up its power output to USB devices if necessesary.
