Go to aliexpress. Google cheat cards. They've proliferated pretty heavily in the last couple years.

My buddy and I were actually just discussing ring 0 anti cheat circumvention and we started researching these units. Our guess is that the hardware slightly changes every iteration with updated firmware to circumvent general heuristics like HWID.

I hope anyone who actually buys those things to cheat in a multiplayer game gets one so poorly made that it fries their whole system.
Part of me really wants to do this, put a time bomb circuit that fries the PC after x hours of use, and leak them into the supply chain. Not going to do it, too much work, but cheaters ruined sooo many hours of my life.

I wonder if there are software dev counter-parts that would build cheats just to soft-brick cheaters PCs...

You'd be distributing malware and will probably find yourself in legal trouble.
