Does a product like this exist?

Nicosuave1986 · March 3, 2015

So I'm looking at building a HTPC with some leftover parts. Is there a device which will allow me to plug the USB gaming mouse and keyboard I already have into a hub next to/behind my couch, and a corresponing bluetooth reciever on the pc? I realize that's a lot of trouble to keep the wires behind me rather than across the room. But hey, it's worth a shot.

And before anyone asks, yes I tried google. I can't figure how to word such a thing to not find a lot of unrelated products.

would it be possible to just hide a wire? you can get very long usb cables, or run usb over ethernet.

That is of course an option. But it's not my first choice.

Yes I've looked at this one already http://www.amazon.com/Superspeed-Ultrabooks-Microsoft-Raspberry-Specially-made/dp/B00IHWF8P0/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t

It seems to be for printers and external hard drives. I posted a question on it to see what answer I get since you seem to think it might work. I'm sorry I don't know much about bluetooth technology.

Edit: Looks like you were right and now I know what it's called. Thanks!
