I have a Finalmouse and mouse led is on after I shutdown PC. Is it the mouse or my pc? This mouse has no driver, just plug n play.
 
Motherboard BIOS, had this on Asus motherboards on and off over the years. (Keyboards and Mice)
 
Maybe turn of legacy options for USB 2.0\3.0. If you do how ever you will not be able to get in the bios without a PS\2 keyboard.

Their is normally a way around that is to have the the mouse on USB 3 port and the keyboard on USB 2 and turn off legacy for USB 3.

Did you just get this mouse? Or did the LED used to go off when the computer was shutdown?

Note that many USB ports are set to supply +5V even when the computer is shutdown - which, unless you flip the master power switch on the back of your power supply, or unplug the power supply from the wall, is really "Standby Mode".

By keeping power to the USB ports while the computer is "asleep", this lets you wiggle the mouse (or press a mouse button) to "wake" the computer. It may also allow you to charge your cell phone, for example, while the computer is in Standby mode.

In other words, this sounds normal to me.

Which is why i was on about legacy in the bios as this will disable that function, which is why i ended up trying it due to one of the mouses i use as it's the only real time it gets to charge.

While my keyboard is on the USB 3 i can keep legacy off and at the same time keep it enabled for USB 2 for my Sensei wireless,

That's just how this particular mouse works then. I have a Logitech mouse where the LED dims when the computer goes into standby and then to full brightness when the computer is running. The LED on my Microsoft mouse on the same computer goes out completely when the computer sleeps, then lights when the computer is running.

I would not worry about it. But if you are still bugged by it, check your motherboard manual. On some boards, not all USB ports are "charging ports". So you might try a different pair of ports, or as noted above, check your BIOS Setup Menu to see if there is a setting for it.

To me, it just shows your computer is still alive, just sleeping - not a bad thing.
 
Could be a "wake on mouse" setting too.
 
Try switching USB ports and see if it still persists.

This can be really annoying if your pc is in your bedroom
 
It could also be the Hybrid Shutdown feature of your operating system.

Google how to disable hybrid shutdown for your specific OS and see if that helps.
 
if you are referring to the led on the bottom of the mouse it is meant to stay on, even if the pc is off. That is completely normal.

What? That won't do anything for this.

While hybrid sleep mode does put the computer into a "low power" state so it boots faster, it should not change how power to the mouse is configured. Hybrid sleep mode is great for PCs - in fact, it is designed specifically for PCs.

The lit mouse could only be annoying at night, but I really don't see it keeping anyone from sleeping. It is rare for any bedroom to be 100% dark. If a problem put it behind the keyboard. But if it is still a problem and changing USB ports does not help, then a full shutdown, or hitting the master power switch are the solutions.

Changing power supplies, again, will do nothing.
 
Go to the bios and look for the ErP Ready option, turn it on.

This will make the board use minimal standby power in order to comply with EU regulations. The board may turn of some or all external ports (like USB) and this may turn your lit mouse off.
 
If you don't have a master power switch on the back of your power supply, you could just simply unplug the mouse from the system, if that light bothers you that much.
 
The Led is not on the bottom of the mouse.
Erb is on, but the led is still on.
The only solution now is turn off the master power switch
OR use that LED as a lamp.

I think because this mouse has no driver, so its on all the time till no more power.

Did you plug the new mouse into the same USB port as the old mouse?
 
Yes, I switched to other port and the same thing occurred
 
wow i am amazed no one caught this yet.

since many devices now charge through USB pretty much all motherboards now enable charging through USB via PSUs 5V standby line even after the system has been shut down.

THIS IS NOT A DEFECT but a feature. has been around since 2010-ish.

A.)Someone did mention that.
B.)Why does the new mouse stay lit while the old one does not?
 
I think most know that, hence why some one said try different ports as all ports may not support it.

Maybe they did a new revision of the mouse and the old mouse did not support this. Best way to find out is to contact who made it.

Electrical tape comes to mind
