Lately I feel myself being drawn back into the world of couch gaming as I've opted to sit down with the xbox 360 more than my pc over the last month or so. The only real problem with that is I'd rather be playing my pc games. The solution to that would be to revisit the days of using my TV as a monitor, although now I actually have an "office" space where I keep my pc and monitors. It *is* feasible that I could run an HDMI cable for audio and video, but not feasible to run USB for the keyboard and mouse without buying active usb extensions. I'm not really keen on that idea.
In the past I've used some logitech bluetooth peripherals, which I still have, but I noticed a pretty severe amount of (intermittent) input lag. Most of the time it would work just fine, but every so often I would catch about a second of complete lag. Usually at just the right moment to ensure that I took a rocket or shotgun blast to the head :/ I couldn't honestly say whether it happened at routine intervals or not, but I would say the lag spikes were no farther apart than every two minutes.
When it comes to wireless input devices (keyboard and mouse in this case), are there any out there that offer the reliability of a wired kb/mouse? In my current situation I'm only looking at a distance of about 15-20 feet, but the signal would unfortunately have to travel through one wall.
Also, should I be looking at bluetooth devices, or RF wireless?
