Convert wired USB device to wireless?

Hi all!

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if there is something available to buy to do the job.

basically I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but I also use a graphics tablet, unfortunately wired. Im looking to convert this to wireless the same way that the keyboard and mouse is. Any ideas. Im not scared of a soldering iron if one is involved!

The only way I could think of doing it is to get a wireless USB hub. The main issue is that the tablet is likely powered from USB so you would need to provide the tablet with both the USB transceiver and the power for both it and the tablet itself.

A wireless USB hub should provide both these solutions.

Ah... very true, never thought of that lil issue!
Will look into the wireless hub, though wont really achieve what I want... but since I need power not much choice!
