I'm toying with the idea of putting a cabled AV extender and a wireless DAW controller in a spare room across the hall from my home 'studio' for when I want to self-produce vocals or acoustic instruments without worrying about noise from computer fans, air conditioning, etc. The extender would let me hear and see my DAW and the controller would.. duh..., but seeing as how I would still have a CAT5 cable running from Room 1 to Room 2 and at least one mic cable running back again, I can't shake the feeling I'm overthinking a problem that isn't really much of one to begin with.
 
other than the possibility of the controller not working with your DAW... I think you're over-thinking it and it should work just fine...

I bought a couple keyboard/mouse/monitor extensions for a project i was working on... there wasnt any delay/weird stuff going on that I noticed... I just could control any of the outboard gear...

try it and let us know how it goes...
