USB and keyboard question

[Deleted member 8987]

Finally got my large print, back lit Azio keyboard.
Works good, except:
When I shut down the computer at night, the keyboard stays lit.
I find that odd, as the box is off....yet the USB port apparently is providing power still.
Last one has a small round DIN type plug, so it went to a different port.
I have to shut the keyboard off manually.

Some trick I don't know about to kill USB's when shut down?
XP Pro, SP3.

You use a wired keyboard?

Absolutely. I also drive vintage automobiles, with points and carburettors, have a dial phone or two, and vacuum tube radios.
Why?

In that case, just blow out the candle.

Great!

I'd get rid of the radium embellished dials and switches, tho.

"vacuum tube radios"

Fancy new technology, I spin my records on a Victrola.

I even have pre-octal based radios.
Last one I rebuilt was for a 1941 Lincoln.
THAT was fun.

I have a box of toggle switches out of a B-29, with the glowing radium dot on the end of the toggle.
heXX, I've got more roentgens in me from the S5W than radium dials will ever give me.

I think there is a jumper on the mother board that determines if USB voltage stays hot. Otherwise if you have your computer plugged into a power stip, you could kill power to the box, which should also kill the USB power.

Some do have the jumper, found that out. Also, if I get time on boot, the BIOS has a "power USB" setting. Or so I am told.
