No, it's not wireless.  Microsoft doesn't allow 3rd parties to use the wireless of the Xbox 360.

this is a cool idea, a buddy of mine is disabled and he can't use his hands and fingers very well so a joystick is just what he needs.

Ah yes, Tempest and Arkanoid.  I spent a fortune in tokens/quarters on those two games.  I would so buy Tempest if it was on Live.  I remember the PC port of it (few years ago?) that was jazzed up.  Really nice.
