Yup. I have both my main client machines with a USB cable neaded out
towards a hub. The Hub has USB cable going to most of the rooms in the
house. Only one machine can use the hub at once (obviously) but now both
  my keyboards are belkin USB things with a USB hub built into them.

I then have a travelling hub which I plug into the cable & then plug
the keyboard into.

The main use is when my daughter wants to use one of the machines (or the
family want to watch films etc) as both machines have tv-out & are
hooked into the main tv-cable system which goes to every room.
