Here is a clear picture of what was done. The box was bought because it had to be bigger than the original USB hub box.
The switches and board are mounted on an aluminum L bracket.
So I bought the switches. But it is 3PDT switch. So I guess I will have to make the ground common. Is there anything that I should keep in mind? The circuit will be the same, right?

Connect the two grounds with a 10k resistor, measure the voltage across the resistor, should be 1vac or less really, although a little higher might be ok too.
then measure the voltage across that 10k resistor with an AC meter, digital type meter with high input impedance.
So, red lead on ground 2, black lead on ground 1, set to AC voltage say 200v ac range if you have 120vac lines.
I dont think it could be any more clear.
Do you have a 10k resistor?
But your diagram, the switch is not labeled as to what terminals are which. You have to label them as to what terminals are what poles, etc., if you want it to be checked.
Very good. I just added the way the switch actually switches to make it clear.
Red is when the switch is flipped one way, Green is for when the switch is flipped the other way.
