for some reason after I turn on my pc, the red light on my optical mouse stay lit up. there are also times when I shut down and the mouse turns off, but then I will come back later and see that it is back on. does this mean there is still power in my pc even after I turned it off? its a usb mouse, that I also hooked up ps2 just to test it, and it still does this. I've never seen this happen before.

does it ever go off? maybe it has a battery inside that keeps it looking cool?

I'm assuming it's USB?

be nice if you told us which mouse it was
its just a simple microsoft optical mouse. its nothing new. its corded, and I said it was USB. I used this mouse with my old computer and it never did this. i don't think anyone will really be able to figure this out, its so odd. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with the mouse itself, but rather something with the pc. I'm asuming the pc is still containing power after I shut it off, that is why the mouse is able to stay lit. and not it does not turn off the light after a while. somehow the USB is powering the optical light in the mouse after shut down. just not sure if I should be concerned by this, or not.
