Mouse Light Will Not Turn Off

[Lukek84]

I just bought a CM Storm Devastator mouse and keyboard combo made by cooler master and iv noticed when I shut down my computer, the mouse light stays on, it never shuts off and there is no switch to turn it off. Wondering if anyone knows a way to shut the light off when the computer shuts down. I have windows 8.1 with a maximus vi hero motherboard. maybe its a setting in the bios? or in windows? Any help would be great, thanks!

It sounds like ACPI option in the bios. In order for power to distributed to the usb bus the computer couldnt be in a mechanical off or soft off power setting. It most likely is in some form of a sleep or hibernate in order to do that. Alot of bios's do this so you can charge your phones and devices even when the computer is "off".

hi, i had the same issue for some time, and found the answer in my manual.my MB is a H87M pro, you may have similar..... re boot into bios by pressing F2......then then enter advanced settings...... and click advanced tab....... find APM in the list and select........the next list you should see BEEP S4 this will be disabled as default ......... enable this setting.........save and reboot......when you shut down this will turn off all USB and PS/2 devices at shut down.

worked for me, hope you have the same joy.

Look at the Device Properties for the Mouse in the Windows Device Manager.

On the Power Management tab page, is the Check Box for the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checked or unchecked?
