Cheaters who are serious use DMA cheats or fast AI classification on the video output. An external machine runs the cheat software and takes the input from your mouse. It connects to the PC running the game over USB where it pretends to be a mouse. It can adjust your mouse input on the fly to hit targets based on target solutions generated by the cheating PC. It can even read map and location data and display them on the original screen with some additional hardware.
The whole setup costs about as much as a midrange gaming PC though.
Nothing runs on the machine and it is completely undetectable to local anticheat. They could maybe catch people by VOD watching or by analyzing their mouse movement on the server-side… but local anticheat only catches cheaters on a budget.

Why would you bother going through all that trouble if there is a way to software cheat undetectably? This is a rhetorical question.
The level of software detection can change. Unless your ass is in someone else’s chair the complicated solution is bulletproof.
