Keyboard/mouse illumination

[BJD88]

Hi all

 

Have a query that maybe someone could answer. I recently helped my younger brother to upgrade his pc with a new mobo, memory and processor. Things seem ok but I've noticed that the lights on his multimedia keyboard and mouse remain illuminated after the pc has been shut down....any ideas as this can't be normal?

Hey BJD,

 

This is infact normal for some makes and models of mice and keyboard. Mice certainly.

 

What make/model are these items?

Yes mine does the same, and there are a couple of LED's on the motherboard that stay illuminated till the power supply is turned off.

They are powered through the USB and they will be on until the PC is turned off at the mains - :)
