I have recently replaced my previous mouse with a Razer Mamba Chroma which also comes with a receiver/charging dock connected via USB to the PC to facilitate wireless mode. When I turn the PC off when not in use, USB power is also turned off to the charging dock. For me, this sort of defeats the purpose of being able to charge the mouse when not in use. I am aware that some if not most motherboards these days can pass power through selected USB ports when the PC is actually shutdown via the PSU’s +5V standby rail. It seems however, that my particular motherboard (MSI Z97M) does not seem to possess this feature, not that I could actually find searching through the manual and google anyway. I have unchecked all check boxes “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” within device manager and also searched through the BIOS in the hope that such a feature could be enabled, no luck either. If my motherboard doesn’t support this feature, would an externally powered USB hub actually do the trick or do most also only have power when a USB signal input is detected? Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
