Gaming From the Couch - Mini PC

[Tundro]

Hi, been using Launchbox for quite some time from an office desk environment (wired keyboard/mouse, etc).  I'm interested in buying one of those mini PC's so I can move to the family/living room.  I don't see any reason why the PC wouldn't work, but my concern is with the cords/controllers. Is it best to get a long power cord for a USB hub at the couch and plug in controllers from there?  Is a wireless keyboard/mouse tolerable or is their crazy lag?  I generally play older games, think prior to 1990.  Sorry if this has been asked over and over.  First time doing this type of setup, so if I can avoid mistakes I'd be very appreciative.

I have a Intel NUC in TV location with wireless bluetooth keyboard and XBOX One wireless controller dongle (I had older non-bluetooth controllers).  It is just used for older games (MAME, SNES, NES).  Never seen any issues with lag at least noticeable by my casual play.
