probably not. but that would be cool. you can do it with a rf mouse and keyboard like MacAlly's RF Multimedia Keyboard & Mouse. Just get a USB extension cable, and hide the USB RF transmitter somewhere near your couch.
i guess you could do the same with a bluetooth adapter, but i dont know how many devices one adapter can support

*laugh* Are you going to be able to see your computer rman? *grin* I believe an adapter can support many many devices.. I believe.. although they all have to share the airwaves and the input port.. hmm.. that is a good question. We should do some research on that one..

i found a pdf sheet that compares Infared, RF and Bluetooth.

apparently bluetooth only supports up to 8 devices at a time

Good to know, although I have no idea how I would ever use 8 devices on bluetooth, but then again who knows what the future has to bring

well you saw how fast USB caught on. i have a USB hub with 8 things plugged in, but im afraid it will take a few years for bluetooth to have the bandwidth capabilities of USBMurlyn said:
