I know you're not supposed to plug loads of bus powered usb devices into a hub, but is something bad going to happen if I do? I want to have a Bluetooth dongle and a midi controller and a mouse at once, will it break anything? Does a midi controller use a lot of power?

As far as I know, the worst that can happen is that some device may stop. Not dangerous IMO.

You're mean to be able to daisy chain 127 devices.
It's just power that stops that.

get a powered hub, it will eliminate the problems of devices getting too little juice from your computer

Yeah I know, but I have a bedroom about 2m square with 14 power plugs already in use so there is little space for my legs under this desk as it is. I've never suffered a juice shortage but I was lead to believe I could short something in my laptop if I hammered it with peripherals

nah, the only thing likely to happen is that your mac will say that it hasn't got enough juice to support the connected devices

Windows will just send you a message saying there is not enough power to run the advice.
