i plan on using htpc as my arcade source... when i want to play, i'm just gonna plug in 1 usb cord or extenstion leading up the the coffee table or something (1 wire across the floor), then from there ipac can hook up allowing me to have 4 controllers. it will make a very small box with the joysitcks wired with networkign cable so i can just plug in when its time to play. 1 wire wont look so bad on the floor

Because they are made for VERY different things. keyboards don't care about 1/4 of a second lag time and don't care about multiple key presses more then 2 or 3. and its very easy to do wireless with lag and few keys... its hard to do it without them.
If you do anything, hack a wireless joystick. These are made to work well with games... There are some good bluetooth ones available.... but expensive.

YMMV, and maybe I'm just not very good to begin with ;), but I play all kinds of games on my PC with a wireless keyboard with no problems at all (no perceptable lag, etc).

Are you playing 2-P fighting games with your hands AND feet at the same time?
That's where you're going to see it.
Most other games won't require you to press 6+ buttons at once.
