Yeah that's why most games' competitive events allow players to bring their own, but given the fuckton of dependencies some of the "gamer" peripherals install I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen anyone exploiting a vulnerability to use some cheats yet.

For example I have a gaming mouse with onboard memory, and I don't really trust Razer to secure that shit correctly (given the fact that their driver updating software doesn't even bother not downloading the previous versions when not necessary nor cleaning up downloads after installation. Fun fact : I recently discovered I had 10+ GB of download cache after barely a year of usage, for a mouse)
