Please do not top post. It is frowned upon on this mailing list, and
goes ageist the list guidelines.

It can be done with a switch, but not a hub. The "Peripherals
Sharing Hub" is really a switch by another name. The OP did not want
to use a USB switch. (I am not sure he knew about automatic USB
switches, or software controlled ones.)
