With modern decent motherboard, you should have at least 4 usb ports at the back. Most have like 6-8.

If your talking about laptops, then tough luck because laptops are shit.

Yes. For laptops, you'll need an external hub like this:

For desktops, you can can add them via card or drivebay in addition to using a hub:

not sure if hub quality matters but never use it for important stuff or devices that require a certain amount of power.

i have a hub which is incredibly weak sauce and i only use it for my m/kb. can't even supply enough power for an arcade stick and it would probably mess up an HDD if the power suddenly gave up in the middle of a file transfer or whatever.
