Is there any way to make my thrustmaster t-flight hotas wireless? has anyone been able to mod or buy something extra to make it work. i use to love playing in my recliner when i play on the xbox to my tv. but would really like to play in my recliner with hotas + PC + oculus. my problem is my recliner can no longer fit in same room as computer.

How far away is the computer? You can get long USB extension cables, but you would have to try one to see if it would work with the Hotas since power and signal losses over a longer cable might be an issue. If it is you could also try a powered hub on the end of a longer cable since that should solve any power issues and possibly help with signal loss as well.
The problem is going to be the Oculus (which one?) - USB extension cables (especially USB 2) tend to be unproblematic.
Move the computer
Thanks for input... i might just have to fit the chair somehow or move the computer and chair in another room together. I was hoping there was some kind of bluetooth dongle that would work with the hotas.
Wired example (otherwise similar to Ashnak's suggestion) - but only a single one, and does sensible distances (not cheap) ...

There are (or at least once were) USB hubs that could connect to WiFi. One problem is, you still need to connect to a power supply. The other is most likely the driver software, i.e. they may or may not work with a specific combination of devices, mainboard, BIOS and operating system
A wireless hub--as opposed to USB over wifi--should be transparent to the system.
Just need to get a battery connected to it and attach everything to a board or something.
