    It's always happened with mine.
    I thought it was meant to be like that.
    It won't really waste any power, so I'm not bothered about it.

    It's probably a battery powered light.

    this post is guaranteed 100% parrot-free

    If it has batteries then it wont turn off unless you take batteries off. If it is connected to your computer for power too then you can just shut off the power supply it will shut off.
    It doesnt really matter if its on though!

    Are you actually turning the computer off or just going into hibernation or standby? If the computer is shut down completely, there should be no power to the PS/2 inputs or any connector other than the power switch.

    a proper shut down for the last time. i think it maybe cos i have keyboard power on for the keyboard, so maybe the board leaves power going to both mouse and keyboard&#33;
