Light in keyboard when pc is off?
No, I think you all pretty much got it wrong..
Some motherboards leave at least a couple of USB ports powered on all the time, when functions like "Wake on keyboard press/mouse click " or "Wake on LAN" are enabled. Check the BIOS settings and disable those options and the USB ports may be turned off after you shut down the system. These ports are powered from 5v stand by wire of the power supply.
If this is the case, just move the keyboard usb jack from the current port to another .. on most keyboards there's only 2 or 4 usb ports powered for this reason after system is shut down, so simply moving the keyboard outside those 2-4 ports will fix the issue if disabling those functions in the bios doesn't do it.
Some motherboards also have some "special" USB ports meant to be always on, some "fast charging" ports so that you could charge devices while system is turned off. Usually there's some logo or embossing on the metal rectangle near those usb ports, so you'd know to avoid those ports.
