Wireless remote control of my PC

[helpful55]

I have a PC with VGA, DVI and HDMI for video output. I want to be able to operate the PC remotely wirelessly so I need to be able to send that video along with the USB connection so I can use a mouse and keyboard. I know that there are devices like the IOGear HDMI transmitter to send the video and audio that also has a way to extend IR, which I suppose has a USB port to connect an IR antenna. Will this USB feed possibly pass through my PC USB for a mouse/keyboard, or if not is there any other device that can do this? If not is there any other way to do this? I am not really any fan of wireless things, but this one may work. Nevertheless I am not really interested in using any of the usual wireless mice or keyboards for that part of this.

I can set up a full PC and get this all through my router but that kind of defeats a lot of what I am trying to get away from. I can wire to the transmitter so I can get it within say 50 feet of where it will be sending the signals to.


And: This appears to do exactly what I want: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...d=scsho5462301
I don’t know if HDMI can carry USB signals from a PC. If it can and there would be splitter cables to integrate that I could save $100 by using this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815290029 I can afford these, but it seems there isn’t any competition for this kind of device with the prices they get.

Would using your smartphone to control the PC using the home wifi as the conduit work for your needs?

Soooooo, what is wrong with just a bluetooth mouse and keyboard?
