Looking for USB remote control ...

When you say "Tx" and "Rx" what do you mean?

Yes, there are a couple of schemes available to pair Tx to Rx, once paired,
even transmitters on exactly the same channel should not interfere with your
model.

You can get adapter cables from here:

which allow you to connect you RC Transmitter to a computer so you can fly
Flight Simulators (or any kind of computer game that only requires 2 x
joysticks) but this is just a glorified game pad. I've not seen a solution
where you can use your RC Tx to talk to it's Rx which is plugged into the
USB port of a computer.

Clearly then, the knowledge of how to convert RC digital signals to USB
computer signals is available, and to move the pick off point from pre-Rx to
post-Rx would only be a small step. The real question is why? Which I guess
is why the next screeching tyres you hear will be the boys in the black
Surburban ;-)
