OS

Windows 11 22h2

Device

Legion 7 16ITHg6

Is your feature request related to a problem?

a trigger whenever a new IO device is connected like a flash drive, Bluetooth or wired speaker, headphones can be very helpful.

How would you like the problem to be solved?

If there is a trigger then i can set actions to close certain app and restart it, some apps like openRGB dont detect new speakers etc without a proper restart so it will help there.

What alternatives have you considered?

use python scripts but its janky

Additional information

i use my laptop with multiple Bluetooth headsets, keyboards and having stuff run or close when you connect them is very helpful.

You want these to trigger when a specific device is connected? How to filter them? By type? Name?

For my usecase detection by "type" would be more beneficial. type as in speakers, keyboards, mouse, headsets, monitors, controllers etc. by name can also work but then I will have to create actions for every single one of them. I am fine with either of them you can do whichever is easier to implement.

That can be cool! My use case would be to set a predefined Game Mode when I connect a controller. Would it be possible to actually detect if you connected more than 1 devices of the same type? For my particular example, if I connect one controller it means I am playing single player games but if I connect multiple it means I am probably playing with somebody else. This is not the most exciting use case and might not be worth the implementation effort, but just throwing it out there as an idea.

Also to trigger when they get disconnected. a minor thing but important to mention.
