Usb power after windows shuts down

Gigabyte has "On/Off Charge USB port", but ASUS has no such feature. During sleep mode or if Wake on mouse is enabled in the BIOS then power would continue to sense any mouse activity.

Hope that helps.

that happens with my gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H

i haven't checked the provided Amps to see if it's even worth to use as a mouse charger... but it's retarded as it leaves my mouse LEDs always on and that bothers the hell out of me.

There's no option about that on the mother board... i now turn off the PSU after a shutdown, but that's even more retarded  

also, all options to wake computer are off.

any idea how to get rid of that?

also, only devices previously connected are affected. if, after the shutdown, i unplug the mouse and plug it back in, the lights go out.

and in my case it's not windows, but linux.

found this from 2007, very relevant... but haven't found any jumpers for that on my board.

Also, there's an option on some bios to force the shutdown state (S5) to use less than 1W. on my gigabyte bios it's called "ErP" (no further explanations from the manual)... when enabled, it will disable power on USB,PS/2 and network card while powered off.

the down side (up side IMO) is that 'power on' keys on idiot keyboards won't work.
