Launch app on USB event (OS X)

Hi there,

on my Canon scanner there are several buttons that launch some application when they are pressed.
Has anyone managed to reproduce this behavior with V-USB? I'd like to build some button that just starts an application on OS X.
I know USB overdrive but this does not exactly fit my requirements.

If anyone could give me a hint, that would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Florian

I'm pretty sure either you can make your device a HID keyboard with additional application keys, or write a background process as a "driver" and make it launch programs.
