    I would like to get rid of my input device wires, cause I would like to achieve a clean simulator setup dedicated for my living room, without the need of any wire connection to the pc, as it will be hidden in the wall.
    Besides the visual advantage, I dont want to have myriads of wires, over which I will stumble. As well I want to be able to move the rig in the living room, whithout the need to con-disconnect wires every time.
    But there are only a few input devices with BT available currently.

    For a button box a BT keyboard or a mouse could be hacked.
    But if I would like to have a complete racing wheel or joystick, is there a possibility to mod them to BT support?
    Any adapters or DIY solutions available?

    Regards
    Christian
