Anyone has any idea on how to remove an USB device in OSX from a MAX object? I need to simply eject a USB key after it has been used so the technician on a show can just put it out without bothering with the screen and mouse.

 to run terminal commands. You could use those objects to run the 

 command or to run an AppleScript via the 

 command. Haven't tested doing this particular shell stuff via Max, but should work in theory.

The other option is to use shell or aka.shell to run terminal commands. You could use those objects to run the unmount command or to run an AppleScript via the osascript command. Haven't tested doing this particular shell stuff via Max, but should work in theory.
