Making a wired peripheral wireless?

[Willsonman]

OK, so I love this simulator called Real Flight and it somes with this schmancy Futaba controller that hooks to the puter by USB. Its powered, I assume by the connection, no lights or anything on it. Is there a way to make the thing wireless?

Mods please move this to the electronics part of case modding if you feel appropriate.

If you're just trying to extend the range of the controller, then I would suggest using a USB extension cable.

There are other options for longer range, like the Belkin CableFree USB Hub, but no matter what you do there will be a cord coming out of the controller.

baah, No, the cable is just cumbersome and I wanted to ditch it altogether to get more of the "feel" of actually being at the field flying.
