    Zero chance of this becoming a real product. This is more like StuffMadeHere on YT, just making wildly impractical stuff that is still interesting.

    You don't need a motorized pad, you can just run your video output and mouse through an external PC which does the image recognition and target acquisition then edits the mouse's input stream to insert the proper movement in order to hit the target, afterwards it's passed to the clean PC with the cheating PC pretending to be a mouse.

    This is basically what all of the hardware cheat products do that don't use DMA access to read memory from the clean PC.

    I mean yeah. He made this expressly as a way to cheat without cheating.
