Executes action when USB device of specified Vendor and Product ID is connected to the computer. The rationale for this was easy swithing of input and monitors between two computers. A common device for both machines was a USB hub switch providing mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately the hub has only a single button switching connection but provides no extra feedback or message. However switching monitors can be triggered on event of keyboard being plugged in.

OnUSBConnect runs as windowless tray app. It will wait until a specified USB device is connected to the computer. Once it is it will run the command passed to it.

Syntax & options:

onusbconnect vendorid:productid command

Place onusbconnect.exe somewhere safe and run it, for example like this:

onusbconnect.exe 413c:2107 controlmymonitor.exe /SetValue Primary 60h 17 /SetValue Secondary 60h 17

To find the monitor options use https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html To get vendorid:productid use https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
