Wireless link for game controller

I am using 2 BS2e's along with the TWS/RWS RF modules from
rentron.com to complete a wireless extension for a PC game
controller. The game controller data is basically just made up of a
group of digital switches. This will be my first time writing a full
program for a Stamp, so if any one has any advice or guidance as far
as code goes for code either the transmitting side or receiving side,
it would be greatly appreciated.

Oddly, I'm doing the exact same thing right now. Do you need to use
the BS2 at all? I'm sending the RF data to a keyboard encoder, which
send the information to the pc as keyboard events. I'm sure there is
a similar technique for a joystick etc.
Here's a web site for keyboard encoders >

I thought about that, but since I already had the 2 BS2e's, I thought
I would use them. With the serial I/O from the RF modules, and the
SERIN SEROUT commands on the BS2, I figure it shouldn't be too hard
to "multiplex" 6 switches (which is all the game controller basically
is) and then "demultiplex" the data on the receiving end.
