Default Wireless MIDI controllers?

Anyone using a midi pedalboard like the behringer FCB1010 or something wirelessly somehow? I saw the yamaha one but its mac only...surely some has to have done this by now?

I have the iRig Blueboard but you can't use multiple units, and I'd like more than 4 switches, and that again is mac only

Pretty sure Sabaton are using a wireless MIDI adapter for their floorboards in this video.

(My work camp blocks YouTube, so I can't check that this is the right link )

Is there some sort of wireless USB for generic USB items the way like wireless keyboards and mice work?

Seems like I could gut a Korg Nano Kontrol and use it as a MIDI pedalboard

Seriously blowing my mind that there aren't wireless MIDI pedalboards for windows or generic MIDI

I've been "going to do that" for a while now. Keep us in the loop if you get to it.

There apparently IS such a thing as Wireless USB, but its tough to search for because the terms are so close to other more common things. By googling "wireless MIDI cable" I found this which looks a bit like that what I had in mind. Some of the reviews are iffy, and of course I've never tried it.

I have been using a cheap MIDI usb pedal for ages. Cost me 6 bucks and they do versions with multiple pedals. Very easy to program too.

cant remember where it came from but there is a thread about them on here.
Mine says it is a USB foot switch made by International invention & the included driver/programming software is by PCsensor.

Win10 Pro 64bit.
