RandyT:
Not sure sure why the above was quoted.  It's not related at all to the KeyWiz 5v line.

When you connect something directly to the 5v line on the KeyWiz, then it's the same as stripping a PS/2 cable down to the 5v DC line and using it to connect something directly to the power line on the port.  It's simply a convenient way for one to access that power for something small, without needing to do that.  So if your PC leaves that line on, then of course, whatever you hook to it is going to remain on as well.

Sometimes this can be shut off in your PC's BIOS.
