Launch Application When USB Device is Connected

ViViDboarder · Oct 11, 2010, 07:48 PM

Hey, I'm looking for any kind of way to launch an application when I plug in a specific USB device.

I have a Logitech G11 keyboard and when I plug it in I want it to launch the configuration software that comes with it. Is there anything that does this for mac?

MarcoPolo does this kind of stuff. I don't know if there's a way to do it without installing anything.
