Is it possible to convert an USB wire device to a bluetooth device?
 

Greetings:

I use a 3d input (www.3dconnexion.com) USB device and would like to
convert it to a wireless similar to bluetooth mouse or keyboard so I
can work away from the screen. Is there any bluetooth or radio
transmitter and receiver kit out there allow me to do this conversion?
If so, could someone please steer me into the right direction?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

There are plenty of devices available that convert a USB port on the
computer to a bluetooth port - they are called USB- blootooth dongles, but I
don't recall seeing any to make a remote USB device appear as a bluetooth
one. In general, these devices are intended to allow an item that is already
bluetooth equipped - such as a mobile phone or digital camera - to
communicate directly with the computer. Bear in mind also, that many remote
USB devices pick up their power from the USB port on the computer, via the
USB cable, so if you break that physical connection by putting in a wireless
link, you may have powering issues for your remote device. Also, if you
could find a bluetooth converter for the remote end, being an active device,
it would also require power.

Thank you for your comments and insight thought arfa.

I think it's hopeless for me then.
