Mobo is Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P. MS optical mouse attached via PS2 stays on while the PC is off. Other than using a USB mouse, is there any way to turn it off?
TIA

Thank you nbelote and ScrewySqrl for your replys.
I wasn't worried about the power wasted, I just found it odd that the PS2 mouse connector remains powerd.
I tried looking thru the Bios setup for an item that might turn it off when the PC is off-but found nothig
Thanks
