Computer turn-on via keyboard question
I currently have a motherboard (GIGABYTE) that allows me to power on the computer by a press of the keyboard (serial).
However, I want to purchase a keyboard like this (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...ONTENTID=10717) that uses USB. I suspect that keyboard power-on will not work with a USB keyboard since the keyboard will not receive power when the computer is off.
Anybody have experience with systems like this?

Re: Computer turn-on via keyboard question
I also have a Gigabyte board that supports that feature, but I've never used it and it was turned off in my BIOS.
I just tested it out with my USB mice - Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer Wireless and a Razer Diamondback. I set the power-on option to double-click but the computer would not turn on with either mouse. I don't have a USB keyboard to test it with. Just a data point to help out.
