App to send key presses to PC

I'm not sure about the feasibility of this idea but would a homebrew app that sent all pad presses to a pc via wifi be possible?
Playing PC games with a gamecube pad would be a whole lot easier not to mention gamecube emulation.

thatd would be sweet

I have a feeling it would be so slow that it would be worthless, it is a great idea though.

There should be no slow part :-)

Neither the Wii, W-LAN, or any software that would be written/used should introduce a notable latency.
AFAIK Gamecube pads are scannend 20 times per second, so any latency smaller than 50ms shouldn't be noticed anyway.

Well, you can buy a GC>USB adapter to plug a GC controller into a computer, probably dirt cheap now, and it'd be easier and quicker, and you could use a bluetooth adapter to connect Wii Remotes with nunchucks and classic controllers or balance boards. So basically any controller usable with a Wii can already be used with a computer for less than a tenner if you get a cheap bluetooth adapter/already have one.

actually even if there are GC>USB adapters and you can use your wiimote with bluetooth i think that this is a good idea...

but the thing i would rather see is, they make a VNC viewer... so you could see you computer screen on the television too and play with the wiimote, well i know that this already is possible, wiiremote and tv-out, but some computers are just out of range for the cables, but not for wifi..........just my 2cents
