Razer Deathadder Chroma problem!

[aRreNu17]

Hi guys, 

 

My mouse has a weird problem, When I turn off the pc, all the colours of my peripherals are turning off but the mouse not, why? 

 

Initialy i was thinking about my Old MOBO has a problem but seems like the problem its still there even on my new rig. 

 

Help please.

These mice take their light simply from the USB power, without needing to have the system on. It's on the electrical point of view, there is nothing to turn it off in the mouse itself.

However, there is probably a way to tell your computer to cut the power from USB when it's off. I'm not sure, but it could be from a "USB wake-up" option in the Bios (giving you the possibility to wake up the computer from a USB device). So you could check your Bios about such option eventually.

If not, then it is probably something with your motherboard, and besides turning off the back switch, or unplugging the computer, I don't see a way to fix this.

Well, my motherboard is a brand New Gigabyte z170 gaming 5, so maybe its something from bios?

Yep. I just had a look around in my BIOS. The USB ports will stay on even when the PC is off. This explains why I am able to charge my phone while my PC is off. You have a setting in there to turn that off... I don't remember what it's called. Do some googling or have a look in your BIOS for it yourself.

Did you look at the razer settings? My usb ports stay powered too, but i turned on "Switch off all lighting when display is turned off".

Just make sure not to move the mouse after the light turns off, otherwise it will turn on again.
