How to run an Applescript when a mouse is connected?

I have an Applescript that changes my mouse tracking speed that I want to run whenever I connect a mouse to my laptop. How do I do something like this? I was thinking of making it into an application and just clicking it whenever I need it, but I feel like there's a better way to do it.

This answer mentions launchd's ability to detect and launch an app when usb devices are connected. Sounds like what you are after.

Execute an application on Mac OS X when a particular type of USB device is connected?

You can get your specific product is, to use in the plist file, from System Profile->USB

Hope that helps.
