To the op, unfortunately there are no canned solutions that I know of. I you want to minimize soldering, maybe look into a wireless fight stick for the PS3 or 360?

@AGarv I'm not a ---smurfing--- troll. I know what the ---fudgesicle--- he wants.
@pushover Here is a more detailed video on how to do this with a ps3 controller.

The question that needs to be asked here is why would you want to build an arcade cabinet that you could play from the couch?

Hi everyone,
@keilmillerjr: Maybe it sounded that way but Im not trying to be a cheap ass on this, English is not my first language and Im trying my best. ;)
Just to keep it simple....After searching through google and other Arcade Forums, I came to conclusion that :
1. No Wireless Encoder on the market like iPAC or similar.
2. People uses Real Game controllers (PS3/Xbox) to dissasemble their boards to fit into their arcade sticks in order to make them wireless.
My question is: if there are people hacking Wired Keyboards for their sticks (instead of buying an iPAC which would be the same), How is it that nobody has tried a hack on Wireless Keyboard (Bluetooth/RF)?
Im more interested in the TECHNICAL ASPECTS of that matter rather than the budget. I want to know if someone here has tried it out, so someone tells me "Hey man, youre barking up the wrong tree, forget about hacking a Wirelless Keyboard because..." or "Hey I did it but dont use xyz Keyboards or other brands..." "Use Bluetooth instead of RF beacause of some limitations....." dont know, something like that
Just need some insider info before I start buying parts.
Greetings and thanks for everyone!. :cheers:
@yotsuya : Because I dont have the space to build a real size Arcade Maschine in my Apartment, so I build something smaller that I can store somewhere when its not used, so my wife dont kicks both of us out of the House ;)

You're doing great -- never would have guessed if you hadn't mentioned it.

Most of the wired keyboard hacks you see around here were done years ago.
As you mentioned in the OP, one problem with them is the USB limitation on the number of keys you can press at one time -- details here.
Other problems with matrix encoders (used in keyboards) include "ghosting" and "blocking" -- details here.
