| Everything on my PC works fine, but when I turn the thing off, power is output to devices that really don't need it (my keyboard/mouse, speakers, etc.)
now, before, this really wasn't a problem -- shut off the speakers, and turn off caps lock/num lock/scroll lock, and the speakers and keyboard wouldn't use any power anyway. but now I just bought a new mouse (my first mouse with more than 3 buttons! It's got 5) It's an optical mouse. Now, I know it may not cost too much on the electric bill, but the laser/lights on my mouse are always on as long as they are plugged in. Even if I shut down the system. is there any way I can set it not to output power from the PS2 ports? Any other way to stop the power output? Or am I stuck unplugging all my peripherals after I turn off my PC? thanks in advance... |

| Mine does this too, and I think it may be intentional. It's very useful for cordless mice.
If you can't stand it you could always cut the power via the switch on the power supply itself. (edited by Alice on 12-30-06 04:24 PM) |

| Yeah, just kill the switch in the back, that's what I do when I'm done with my computer. The computer is always drawing power, depending on your power supply it'll take more or less. |
