How to change USB device manufacturer name and type

By replacing the firmware of the device.

In other words, that's impossible for you.

Is your device a keyboard? Otherwise, presenting it to the operating system as keyboard will mean it does nothing useful. Even if that were possible, you would hide a device, but make it useless. Nothing works like this.

You try to convince parts of windows that something isn't there. That means: You want to write a rootkit for Windows. Good luck! This is an old field, and a lot of people with experience in writing malware are playing it. You need to be smarter than the next windows update, potential virus scanners and the software you're trying to trick.
