Waterproof gamepad?

Hi, first time poster. I recently thought it would be cool to try and play some pc games in a pool/hot tub. However it doesn't seem like anyone has made the Peripherals needed for this. Anyone have any ideas? I tried a controller in a plastic bag and that sucked. Looking at waterproof and "washable" keyboards none of them seem up to the task most aren't even wireless. I'm really just trying to see If it's possible but if it ends up being comfy I wouldn't mind replaying a few mgs games that way.:P

This is like building a waterproof toaster.

I would not try this because the risks outweigh the benefits

How well do you think this is going to work

Idk how it's going to work I thought once i had a input method everything else would fall into place. What risks do you think there are other then maybe breaking some stuff with water damage? I don't plan on having a computer close to the water.

Stop trying to do this.There are so many way's you can die from this

If you use wireless the wireless device has to have a battery

I would just buy a Vita and stream from the PS4 if you have one and one of those plastic waterproof phone bags

My life
