    Hey all,

    I have an xp pc connected to my tv, currently just using it for watching DVDs and videos. I was thinking of getting some kind of wireless controller for playing games, like mame, or other emulators, something like a gamepad (megadrive style) or something with a stick, like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wireless-Joystick-Arcade-stick-4-XBOX360-PS2-PS3-PC-NEW_W0QQitemZ320488159132QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_JoysticksJoypadsGamepads?hash=item4a9e95379c).

    I was also thinking about a wireless keyboard with built-in mousepad or trackball, but maybe a bit cumbersome, esp if stretching back on the sofa.

    Any disadvantages of using wireless over wired? Lag?

    I was wondering what any of you use in similar setups, or what would you recommend? I have a usb remote for the pc, but if the wireless controller or stick was capable of some kind of navigation within the frontend, this would be a bonus.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any good replies.

    use an xbox 360 joypad with the MS xbox wireless adapter (pick them up on ebay for 25 euros)
