Are there any wireless keyboard encoders?

Are there any wireless keyboard encoders out there?

Is not, is it possible to hack one together?

I have a pedestal control panel that I push aside when it's not in use. It sure would be cool if I didn't have to deal with the USB cable.

I *assume* that hacking a wireless keyboard would have ghosting issues and (perhaps) lag issues.

You could wire it to wireless pc gamepads. Much easier hack than a keyboard.

mark shaker:

The wireless game pads are a good suggestion.

I should have mentioned: My pedestal is a 4 player with 7 buttons each for players 1 & 2 and 4 buttons each for players 3 & 4.  With the joysticks, coin-up and start buttons that's 46 inputs.

What game pads would you recommend?

Other suggestions?

I have no experience with them myself. I just knew they existed. ;D

There seem to be a few to several people round the same time asking the same question, not knowing each is doing so. Also, I'm surprised there aren't wiki entries for wiring and key code mapping.
