Often desktop PCs keep their USB ports powered after the PC shuts down - nothing to worry about.
(The PC isn't actually fully powered off, the PSU is in a low-power mode - this is normal).

It also means you can still charge devices and it can respond to power on requests for the keyboard if set up in the bios to do that.

So just gotta live with the LED on ? keyboard LED's dont stay on though..neither does the mouse

Some boards have a jumper by the USB ports which allow you to select if the +5v standby is on or off.

insulation tape works best, it's opaque

You need one of those black lights Disaster Area had in one of their spaceships

"It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me," said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, "Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. What is this? Some kind of galactic hyperhearse?"

try to connect this card reader to different USB port. as far as i remember once gigabyte introduced so-called "green" usb port which was not powered under soft power off. but i don't know how to tell which one it is. so you need to try on every usb port (internal / also external if possible). luck m8 !

I have an Akasa AK-ICR-05 with the exact same issue - it reminds me to turn the power off at the wall

The reader I had before (Akasa again) did the same thing too, only the LEDs on that were red and hidden behind the case door.
