You didnt "mean" 2PC even though that is literally what you said multiple times. Even if you mean hardware in general it makes even less sense. Please reread what you wrote.

Calling it "convenience versus a bit less footprint" is misleading so I will try to explain it as simply as possible since you seem to struggle with the technicalities around anti cheats and risks (which kind of worries me given youre a bigger seller).
With a 1PC script the script runs on the same PC as the anti cheat. The anti cheat has kernel level access and can inspect all activity on that PC. This gives the script a much bigger detection surface. Like EVERY 1PC script/cheat in the history of cheating this will eventually get detected. This is NOT you doing something wrong. Thats the eventual outcome for all well-known public cheats. Nobody can get around this.
With a 2PC setup the script runs on a separate device. The anti cheat runs on PC1 while the script runs on PC2. The anti cheat cannot detect what it cant see. The only thing left here is for the anti cheat to rely on heuristics which ofc also affect 1PC. (Here it is important to mention that it depends on which mouse device you use.)
Calling that "a bit less footprint" is quite a big understatement. A properly configured 2PC setup has close to no footprint on the main PC.
HOWEVER, the issue is that youre constantly trying to downplay the advantages of 2PC since it does not suit you. Its pretty clear from this conversation that you are ready to ignore facts just to paint a picture where what you are selling is the best by downplaying the advantages of other products which IMO only makes your product look bad.
Realistic objective viewpoint:
The advantage of 1PC scripts is convenience. Its plug and play. The advantage of 2PC setups is a smaller detection surface and a lower likelihood of being banned. That does not make 2PC completely safe because heuristic and manual bans are still possible which also applies to 1PC.

There are public resources showing how to implement 1PC mouse movement. The issue is not whether it can be done. The issue is whether it can provide the same level of safety as keeping the script off the main PC.
It cannot.

I just explained the actual limitation. Hardware is not used only because developers cannot make mouse movement work in software. It is used because moving the script to a separate device removes the biggest detection surface of a 1PC solution.
