Art installation.

[terumi]

Hello everyone,

Somebody asked me to make them an installation that involves light switches and letters on a computer.
Whenever a spectator-user clicks on a light switch, a letter will be written on the monitor of a pc.
I thought I can use an old keyboard to make that but I have this question: The spectator-user of the installation has to click the switches in a distance like 30 feet (10 meters) or so. With cables that long, will I be able to make it work?

Thank you.

A USB repeater/extender may work:

I think $9 would be worth trying.
