Wired to Wireless Controller Mod

[jokaarstin09]

I am doing a school engineering project where we see inventions through to the finished product stage. Our project is to make a device that can turn any wired controller wireless, but we would like to start with the xbox 360 controllers because they use a general USB port. Does anyone have any ideas on where to go from here? I have researched many different wireless methods, but I still can't decide which one will work the best for the least amount of money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know, but you might want to try something else, since there are wireless USB adapters with a single port and some with whole hubs.

Don't make this project. Making a univeral wireless controller decoder/transmitter/receiver is somewhere on the realm of impossibility, unless you are looking to spend at least several hundred dollars.

And buying a wireless USB transmitter will probably not count as an engineering project. If you do go that route, expect to spend at least $50-60.

I was saying that he might want to try something else, because those already exist.

Basically i just need something to work with. Can anyone suggest a fairly inexpensive way to buy a usb transmitter / receiver pair, or this might not be realistic, but is it possible to take the wireless components from an existing wireless controller and transfer them to a wired controller.
