So, I have a razer deathadder and blackwidow ultimate. Previously when I turn off my PC, the RGB lights on the keyboard and mouse turns off with the PC. But a couple of months ago I built a new PC (Ryzen 5 1600 paired with a gigabyte ab350m
gaming 3 motherboard)

After I switched to that PC, the mouse and keyboards turned off properly too. But if i press a button on either one of those accidentally after it is turned off (which i do a lot with my mouse), the lights come back on and stays on until i switch the PC on and turn it off again.

I think it is something to do with the motherboard configurations, because I did not change anything on it. Left everything on default because I am not that savvy with overclocking and such things. I never mess with the mobo settings. And I checked whether its something to do with my razer synapse config. But it is not. It is set to turn off the lights once the display is switched off.
 
Nowadays the default is for the USB to stay powered when the PC is off, because people use the ports to charge their phone or to wake the PC with keyboard or mouse. Clearly Razer know this and set their annoying LEDs to shut off with the PC. Problem is, there's no way for the hardware to know you didn't wake the PC with the mouse click.

So either set it to wake on mouse click, or set the ports to shut off when the PC is off. Or stop clicking the mouse when the PC is off.

Guess that explains it. I will check whether there is an option to turn off the ports when the pc is off on my mobo since I never use the ports to charge anything. And, im clumsy, so I know I will end up accidentally clicking em otherwise haha.
Thank you.
