To be fair, if they were typical RBG mouse and keyboard, and you used the brands software to change their settings, it blocked that software. Those programs were absolute dog shit in terms of security. I have no idea if it forced them to make better software, or Riot just started to allow them. Regardless it's all pointless because Vanguard has been defeated. Imagine making ring 0 anticheat that loads on boot, and it still isn't good enough, fucking LoL pun intended.

Both had optional software, and I only used the keyboard. The software didn't have to be running for either to work, it was only to configure it and then it wrote the configuration to onboard memory. It was the generic mouse and keyboard input drivers provided by Windows that was blocked and it affected a pretty significant number of users.
