Light stays on on Logitec Optical Mouse when Computer's off

On my son's new computer he just finsished, the light on the Logitec Optical mouse stays on even when the computer switches off. I realize there's still juice going to ATX boards when they're off, but why would this happen? This mouse has a usb plug and he's running the ps2 adapter in the ps2 port like he did on his old machine. Should he chuck the adapter and plug in into a usb port?

Specs:
Soyo 7ISA+ (815E)
Celeron 850

I am using an Asus CUSL2 motherboard and my mouse LED stays on all the time too with my optical mouse. On the Asus board I can have it go out by switching a jumper on the board. Maybe your Soyo board is the same as both use the Intel 815e chipset.

If there's a wake-on-mouse option, I'll bet it's keeping the PS/2 port active...

Hey X,
Is that in the bios, or are you talking about a jumper? The only thing close is a "USB Keyboard Wake-Up" jumper and that's set to the default (disable).

Hey X,
I found the "Power On" setting in the bios I think you were referring to. It was correctly set to "Button". Other options are hotkey, keyboard, mouse move.

Yeah jobe,
I took the ps2 adapter off and plugged the mouse directly into a usb port. That solved the problem.
