This answer shows you how to charge a mouse while the PC is in sleep or standby mode.

The ability of USB ports to stay powered during sleep mode depends on your PC. Some models do not support this feature. Here are a few tips to keep your USB ports active in standby mode.

Note: These steps apply to any Razer mouse with a built-in rechargeable battery.

  1. Go to Device Manager.

  2. Expand “Mice and other pointing devices”.

  3. Double-click on your mouse model and navigate to the “Power Management” tab.

  4. Ensure “Allow this device to wake the computer” is checked.

    If this option is enabled and your device still does not charge, adjust your BIOS settings:

    1. Restart your PC and enter BIOS mode.

    2. Look for a USB power setting and make sure it is set to “Enabled”.

    3. Save your changes and exit BIOS.

    Note: Some motherboards and BIOS versions do not support supplying power to USB ports when the system is in sleep or standby mode.
