Mouse Led is on after shutdown Pc

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.

Ummm, best to read threads from the beginning before joining. I addressed this in first reply here in post #4 above. ASRock reiterated the point after that.

And in post #7 above I also said,

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 have yet another mouse - a wireless mouse that lights up when it detects motion. If no motion after about 5 minutes, the mouse goes to sleep to save the batteries.
 
My cases led used to light up the whole room and bug the hell out of me before going to sleep so I usually just put a small towel over it.
 
I have no idea why ERB helps this time. The led is off when I turn off PC now. The last time it didn't turn off, maybe it needs time.

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

i hereby advise to all mice, light UP or else....! the indian modder will get your tails! :)
 
I have a similar issue, majority of the time when i shutdown my pc the mouse and keyboard shut off, so no LEDs are on. But on some rare occasions the keyboard LEDs are still on, so the keyboard is still being powered.

99% of the time when i shutdown the keyboard shuts off, but 1% of the time it remains on. I just figure its a little glitch with my motherboard.
 
on my p5q-e with some generic chinese cheap mouse, the LED is inconsistent... sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off, usually it's on if i plug/turn on the psu after it's been off for a while
 
easiest fix would be to power off the PSU as well....

Glad it seems to be working now. How long does it actually take to go off?

And sorry, but ERB? I don't know what that means.
 
And probably was and I should have been more clear when asking for clarification too.
 
I was thinking this mouse is wireless or has a battery in it,
 
It is weird. Mouse led is off when I turn off PC after I turned on ErB in the bios, but when I press power button to turn on PC. Its not power on. The led on mouse turn on first, then I have to hold power button for a few second, release it, and press again, then PC power is on. I have to do that press and release several times to power on PC. Is there something with the motherboard or the power supply?

If wireless, it has a battery.

Probably not. The problem is most like power to the USB is removed.

As for your power button, check again the BIOS as there will be settings for how it works - whether you have to press and hold or just press.
 
If I disable Erp, I just press power button 1 and the pc is on, but the led on the mouse will stay on when I turn off the PC.
The mouse is wire and it is the most accurate mouse I have ever used.
 
Then it may just be something you will have to learn to live with and get used to. The main thing to note here is no damage will come from the LED staying lit.

Motherboard BIOS, had this on Asus motherboards on and off over the years. (Keyboards and Mice)

Just reply myself here :)

You are waiting for a BIOS update. As I said, I had the same problem on a few Asus motherboards. In my most recent example, I have a Ducky Keyboard that has illuminated back keys. I had the same issue where I would shut the PC off and the keyboard would remain illuminated.

My issues (For my board, here in the example Z97-WS) was addressed in a BIOS updated, and the keywords of what you want to look for is like so:

Z97-WS Formal BIOS 2304 release
1. Fix compatibility for Genius 87 Gaming Keyboard. <-- Fixed my Ducky Keyboard.
2. Update ME file version to 9.1.25.1005.
3. Support NVMe


Good luck waiting. Either live with it, or change mice, OR get another MB.
 
My mouse and keyboard both do this.....randomly. Dunno why but, it doesn't effect anything so its a battle I have left alone. Could end up breaking something else trying to get rid of a random LED. Not worth it IMO.

My board is in my specs. I am running a Razor Black Widow Mechanical keyboard and a SteelSeries Sensei Mouse.
 
I had a Razor mouse that had a blinking logo when it was plugged in and turned on a long time ago.
